The Baraboo Fire Department recently visited Julie Jensen's Health Careers class presenting on fire safety. Kevin Stieve and Tom Clark provided instruction about different aspects of smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Students had the opportunity to practice using a fire extinguisher to put out a simulated fire. They also practiced how to exit a room filled with smoke using the fire department's fire house. The BFD has been giving presentations like this to the Health Careers class for many years and is a great resource for the Baraboo School District. Thank you, Kevin and Tom!

Five JYMS Students Chosen as National NHD Finalists
|
 Twenty-two eighth grade students from Jack Young Middle School took part in the National History Day State competition in Madison on April 23rd, 2018. These students presented nine historical research based projects at the State event. Of those nine projects, four were chosen to move on to the final round, which means they were in the top six in their category in the state. After the final round, two state finalists were chosen in each category. From JYMS, Alice Davies, Katie Gruber and Trinity Sobojinski were chosen to represent Wisconsin at the National competition with their Junior Group Performance, entitled The Fight for Women's Suffrage: Conflict Inside the Movement. Also, Eric Gumz and Jason Justus were asked to represent Wisconsin at the National competition with their Junior Group Website, entitled Hamilton vs. Jefferson: The Conflict that Created the Political Party System in America.
National History Day is an academic enrichment program for students in grades 6-12. Students select topics connected to an annual theme and complete their own in-depth research on the topic. This year, the annual theme is "Conflict and Compromise in History." Students present their conclusions by creating museum-style exhibits, media documentaries, research papers, interactive websites, and dramatic performances.
The state event is the third step in a competition cycle that can take students from the school level to regional, state, and national competitions. At each level of competition students share their work with their peers, historians, educators, and professionals in related fields as they complete for special awards and the opportunity to advance to the next level of competition.
In addition to our National Finalists, here are the other projects who represented Baraboo at the State Competition:
-
Maylee Elliott, Nyah Culberston, and Ethan Grunewald - Birth of a Nation Group Performance
-
Ethan Witthun, Matilda Lund, Josiah Stevens, Joe Bullock - Hamilton Performance
-
Hailey Hardin, Jordanna WhiteEagle - Trail of Tears Exhibit
-
Amanda Dent, Megan Faivre and Kylie Sprecher - Little Rock None Exhibit
-
Maggie Cleary and Claire Bildsten - Watergate Website
-
Chris Shanks and Nick Ball - Cuban Missile Crisis Documentary
-
Yvette Courchane - Salem Witch Trials Documentary
Participation in the program continues to grow with more than 500,000 students participating annually across the nation. The National History Day program in Wisconsin is coordinated by the Wisconsin Historical Society.
