Volunteer Judges Sought For Fairfield County Regional History Day

Press release from the Town of Westport:

WESTPORT, CT — Each year, Westport middle and high school students participate in the National History Day competition. For almost a decade, the Westport community has generously offered support to students throughout the research and writing process- thank you! Dr. Lauren K. Francese, Social Studies Coordinator, is inviting community members to help in a new capacity this year by serving as judges in the Fairfield County regional competition on Saturday, March 18th at Sacred Heart University.

Judges do not need to be history or educational experts. If you are willing to be engaged and empathetic as you provide feedback to students on their research projects (papers, websites, museum exhibits, performances, and documentaries), please sign up and join us! Training will be provided for all volunteers the morning of the event.

You can sign up to be a judge here.

If you have any questions, please contact the Fairfield Regional History Day Coordinator, Tony Andrade via email: tony48nhd@gmail.com
