We are hiring! The District is in need of three Educational Assistants to work with our students (two of the positions are for K-12 and one is for lower elementary). We are looking for people who have a big heart, patience, and a willingness to learn. Please share with anyone you think is looking for a chance to make a difference!

Students have also spent time exploring Smithsonian museums and other historical sites, bringing the history they've studied to life. One of the most memorable experiences was hearing directly from Holocaust survivors and learning from their powerful personal stories.
Good luck to our four qualifiers as they present their NHD projects for judging today! Competition results will be announced at Thursday's awards ceremony.
