Second Place!

My son Robbie took second place in his age group and category at the National History Day Northern Virginia Regional competition yesterday at George Mason University. That means he now moves on to the state competition at the end of April in Williamsburg. We are very proud of him! He was up against some pretty stiff competition in his age group (6th to 8th grade - Robbie is in 6th grade) and some other really good projects. Here are some pictures – one of him with his medal and the other of him with his project and teacher, Miss Hartt. His project was on the CSS Hunley, the Confederate submarine that was the first submarine to sink an enemy ship in battle.
