History Day Results

Wow! It is good to be back home. It was a very busy fun filled trip. Thursday we arrived at went to the mall until our room was ready. Then Makay went swimming in what he called the "artic" pool. Once he friends started to arrive the fun really began. We had to set up their board after 7:00 so once that was done we went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner did not even get back to the hotel until 10:30. Friday we had to set up the dvd player for their board and place the documents out. We watched some of his friends preform and then got ready for his interview. Makay and Amy interviewed for about 35 minutes this was a really good sign. Later that night the results were read for those who made it to the final round. Good news all around for Fruitvale School District 7 of the 8 made it to finals. After the results were read there was a party for the kids. Makay and Amy were on cloud nine since they had made it to finals. Saturday it rained so there was not much for us to do we watched some preformances and just hung out around the hotel. Saturday we went to dinner at Bocca Peppa it was fun. Sunday was the awards. Makay and Amy were the runner ups in their division which means they placed 3 out of 37 groups they still have a chance to go to nationals depending on the number who register. We are so proud because they competed againest 6-8 graders. Way to Go! Will post pictures later.
