2008-2009+SCMS+History+Fair+Results

Well, the judging is done and the results are in. Let me begin by congratulating all that participated in this year's history fair. Overall, the quality of our submissions was awesome. The judges send their congratulations and compliments as well. We had a few judges that have judged at other schools and in past fairs - some beyond the school level - and they mentioned that our group this year was among the very best they have seen. Thank you students for your work and thank you parents for supporting the effort of your kids.
