A spring tradition at St. Mary’s Catholic School is for the outgoing students to help beautify the area. These projects have included planting spring bulbs and annuals in front of the building, tending a pollinator garden behind the school, and filling pots with blooming flowers. Each group has learned about gardening while adding to the beauty of the school grounds. This year’s group is particularly noteworthy because these ten boys have been together as St. Mary’s students since they started kindergarten.

Fort Scott National History Day State Champions Set to Present at Christian Learning Center

1 Comment

Southeast Kansas will send two projects to the National History Day Championship in College Park, Maryland, June 14-18. Three projects from Christian Learning Center attended the State National History Day Championships in Topeka in April.

The Fort Scott State Champion groups competing at Nationals in June will present their performances at 6:30 PM on Thursday, May 28th, at the Christian Learning Center in Fort Scott. This presentation will allow the students to practice sharing their projects and raise funds for their trip to College Park, MD. The community is invited to attend and support the two student groups. Attendees can enter through the CLC Gym doors.

Kenlee Eden, Blair Felt, and Kodie Wells performing Down With Child Slavery at National History Day

Sophomores Kenlee Eden, Blair Felt, and Kodie Wells from Fort Scott Christian Learning Center will participate in the Senior Group Performance category, coached by Megan Felt and Rachel Wells. Their project is titled Down With Child Slavery: Revolutionizing Child Labor Standards. Their project is a performance based on Florence Kelley. In 1891, Florence Kelley spearheaded a labor rights revolution in America. Intense reactions brought both strong opposition and overwhelming support as she continued to promote equality. Ultimately, these conflicts would bring lasting reform to child labor rights by paving the way for the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938.

Bella Antone, Charlee Wells, and Hadley Wells performing Bridging Two Cultures at National History Day

8th-grade students Bella Antone, Charlee Wells, and Hadley Wells from Fort Scott Christian Learning Center participated in the Junior Group Performance category at the State National History Day competition, coached by Rachel Wells and Megan Felt. Their project is Bridging Two Cultures: A Crusader that Revolutionized Navajo Health Care with Lasting Reform. The performance is based on Annie Dodge Wauneka’s reaction to the devastating impact of disease on her people; she became a crusader for Navajo health care. Her efforts began in the 1950s and continued until her death in 1997, inspiring lasting reform in public health policies and the empowerment of Indigenous peoples.

History Day encourages students to express their knowledge of and interest in history through creative and original dramatic performances, media presentations, historical papers, website design, or three-dimensional exhibit projects. The research and study for district, state, and national competitions take place throughout the entire school year.

The national competition involves the top 2,800 students from across the nation, chosen from over 800,000 who compete to advance from local to state to national competition. All 50 states and several countries will be represented at the National competition. The theme this year is ‘Rights and Responsibilities in History.’

The Lowell Milken Center provides critiques and helps with research for National History Day Unsung Hero projects from Kansas and throughout the United States.
