[RP TownTalk] Fw: A Call for Judges Write Up

[Aaron Marcavitch]

Hello everyone,
 
Since we know that many of you have children in the school system – or are interested in history generally – we hope you might consider being a judge for the History Day program.  This benefits the whole of the county (PGCS and private schools).  
 
The County Exec is scheduled to help judge exhibits, but we need support in all the categories.  Please consider if you can help!
 
Aaron

A CALL FOR JUDGES!!!


Prince George's County History Day NEEDS YOU!!!  Please consider begin a Judge for this year's competition.
 
Prince George's County History Day is the first level of competition on the way to the National History Day competition.  It is a competition designed for both middle school and high school students.  The middle school level is the Junior Division (Grades 6-8) and the high school level is the Senior Division (Grades 9-12).  
 
Students choose their own topics based on an annual theme; and then, conduct their own body of research by visiting libraries/archives and museums, by conducting interviews and by visiting historical sites.  This year's theme is:  Rights and Responsibilities in History.  I've attached this year's theme sheet for your reading pleasures.
 
Students' interpretations of their topics are organized into one of the following five categories: historical paper, exhibit, documentary, website, and performance. Each category has an individual and a group division.  Each division will  need a minimum of three judges.  Those students who win on the county level of competition will then advance to the state level of competition, Maryland History Day.  And, those students who win on the state level of competition would advance to the national level of competition, National History Day.
 
Prince George's County History Day will be held at Dr. Henry A. Wise, Jr. High School on Saturday, March 15th.  As plans progress throughout this school year,  follow-up correspondence will be sent out with particulars for Judges.   In the meantime, please complete the following Judges' Form by clicking:  https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/pgcps-history-day/judges-registration-form.
 
If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact the PGCHD Coordinator Kishanna Poteat Brown at Kishanna.Poteat at pgcps.org.  Also, if you know of anyone who might be interested in judging this year, please forward this email.  
 
Thank you so much for your time and we look forward to working with you.
