As the school year comes to a close, I wanted to update you on some upcoming events on HISTORY® Classroom to look for this summer and fall. The following events will be of interest to teachers, students and parents who love history. Libby O'Connell- Chief Historian
• National History Day Awards Ceremony, Live Webcast, Thursday, June 13th starting at 8:30am. Tune in to history.com/classroom to watch our live webcast of the ceremony. It is always fun to see students cheer each other on and take home awards for their outstanding work.
