Calling All Volunteers! 

Can you help us judge 

Michigan History DayR this April?

 <http://hsmichigan.org/mhd/mhd-judges-form/> The Historical Society of
Michigan is looking for individuals with an interest in history and
education to serve as judges for the 2020 Michigan History DayR State
Finals. Judges help inspire a younger generation by evaluating entries,
conducting brief interviews, and providing feedback to students. The most
important quality for a judge to possess is an enthusiasm for interacting
with students. Judges should have a lively interest in history but do not
need a professional history background.

HSM provides training for how to judge History Day entries. New judges will
be placed on teams with seasoned veteran judges to evaluate participants'
entries and provide constructive feedback to students.

The 2020 Michigan History DayR State Finals will be held on Saturday, April
25, 2020, at Central Michigan University 

from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

To register, call (517) 324-1828 or complete the online registration form
<http://hsmichigan.org/mhd/mhd-judges-form/> on our website.

We hope you can join us this year!

Thank you for your support of Michigan History DayR.

Michigan History Day Student-Teacher Team 

Chosen to Study World War II in Hawaii

Caleb Nimee, a student at Superior Central School in Eben Junction,
Michigan, and his teacher, Mr. Brenton Fitzpatrick, make up one of only 16
student-teacher teams from across the United States selected to participate
in the second annual Sacrifice for Freedom: World War II in the Pacific
Student & Teacher Institute. The program, coordinated through National
History Day, is sponsored by Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, Pacific Fleet
Submarine Museum, the USS Missouri Memorial Association, and Pacific
Historic Parks. 

This institute brings student-teacher teams from Hawaii and American Samoa
together with teams from the U.S. mainland for the distinctive opportunity
to study, consider, and reflect upon World War II in a way that few have
done before. Over the next six months, students and teachers will read books
and selected materials, engage in online discussions, and research a "Silent
Hero," a military service member who died in World War II and is buried or
memorialized at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu,
Hawaii.

UPDATE FOR 2020:

Michigan History DayR is thrilled to announce that the State Finals
competition will be held at Central Michigan University (CMU) on Saturday, 

April 25, 2020. 

For the past four years,

the event was held at Bay City Central High School, but it will now move to
the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) on the CMU campus,
which is located in Mount Pleasant. The CMU campus can easily accommodate
the more than 1,200 people expected to attend the contest, including
students, teachers, family members, and volunteer judges, all of whom travel
from every region of Michigan to

participate in the State Finals.
