US History World Savvy

This Saturday two teams of US History students participated in a full day competition sponsored by World Savvy. The Students participated in three different competitive activities, a current issues quiz, a seminar with students from around the metro on issues relating to water in Chad, and a formal presentation on research they had done in class around water issues in the US and abroad.

One of the teams, they called themselves the "Southwest Water Rangers" took second place in all three categories for the presentation, Most Creative, Best Formal and Best Overall. Those students are Asia Franklin, Max Leaf, Victoria Beleuta, Suren Petrosyan, San Collins and Olivia Oseid. They had two students coaching and helping them research and prepare: Sophie Scholz and Brandon Ranum.

Additionally the members of the second team worked very hard and put on an excellent presentation: Naweed Ahmadzai, Muhammed Camara, Fue Vue, Arus Sahakyan, and Jamil Masroujeh.

Arus, Muhammed and Naweed all took home awards for their work in the seminar on Chad.

Lastly both Muhammed Camara and Brandon Ranum received Rising Star awards.
