Robbie Robinson, 澳门开奖网 History-Social Science and World Languages Coordinator notes, 鈥淭he depth to which our students have investigated deep historical questions and issues in our world, should be held in the highest esteem. Identifying an issue, developing an inquiry around it, and exploring the realities of these global themes are critical to citizenship in the 21st century. Our students are a model of what it means to be civically engaged and their work should inspire us all to do the same as we navigate this complex world.鈥
In addition to the champion awards, several 澳门开奖网 projects also took home special awards, including The Moulton Museum Award for Group Websites and Holocaust Education Center Remembrance and Education: Voice Against Darkness Documentary Award.
