History Day Kickoff!
National History Day is a year-long academic program focused on historical research, interpretation, and creative expression for 7th-12th grade students at North Scott. By participating in NHD, students become writers, filmmakers, web designers, playwrights, and artists as they create unique expressions of history about their chosen topic through their project choice: Documentary, Exhibit, Historical Paper, Performance, Website.
A turning point in history is more than just an important event that happened a long time ago. It is more than a new idea, or a particular action taken by an individual. A turning point is an idea, event, or action that directly, or sometimes indirectly, causes change. The contest theme invites you to consider questions of time and place, cause and effect, change over time, and impact and significance. The contest theme is designed to help you think of a topic from any aspect of local, regional, national, or world history. With this focus, you can begin to ask questions that your research will help you answer, including how your topic is significant in history.

The holiday season is coming soon and we're here to help! October is sign-up month for families who could use a helping hand with holiday gifts for their children. Eligible recipients are children age 1-18 residing and enrolled in the North Scott School District. Paper copies of the form are also available in the main office. This year, all applications are going through local schools.

Patriot's Pen (Grades 6-8)
The 2023-24 theme is:
"How Are You Inspired by America?"
Each year, nearly 68,800 students in sixth through eighth grades enter the VFW’s Patriot’s Pen youth essay contest for a chance to win their share of nearly $1 million in state and national awards. Each first place state winner receives a minimum of $500 at the national level, and the national first place winner wins $5,000!
The essay contest encourages young minds to examine America’s history, along with their own experiences in modern American society, by drafting a 300- to 400-word essay, expressing their views based on a patriotic theme chosen by the VFW Commander-in-Chief. Before submitting your essay, read the rules and eligibility requirements, and find your sponsoring local VFW Post as applications must be turned in by midnight, Oct. 31.
