Three Things You Can Do
To engage with LWVE and make democracy work for all.
1. Register new citizens to vote
Volunteers are needed to help register new citizens to vote at their naturalization ceremonies. If you’d like to volunteer, email Susan Clark at [email protected] .
2. Be a History Day Judge for Edina High School Students
Edina High School 9th grade Cultural Geography students are participating in National History Day. History Day is an academic program focused on historical research, interpretation, and creative expression. Students work individually or in groups to create an essay, exhibit, performance, documentary, or website to share their learning around an annual theme. This year’s theme is “Rights and Responsibilities in History.”As part of the learning process, students share their projects at a History Day Showcase. We invite you to be a judge at this event. Judges talk with students about their projects and complete a questionnaire to provide feedback. Each conversation is approx. 5-7 minutes.You don’t have to be an expert in history to be a judge. The showcase is about community members witnessing learning and engaging with students about their projects.
Showcase Details
Dates: Wednesday, January 29, and Thursday, January 30, 2025
There are various opportunities throughout the two days. Time slots are approximately an hour and a half. Feel free to sign up for more than one time slot.
Location: Edina High School – Media Center
If you are willing to serve as a judge for the EHS History Day Showcase please complete this form by January 12, 2024. Sara Swenson from EHS will follow up with additional information.
Your participation is much appreciated! Many EHS students move on in the competition, going to both the state and national competitions, where they have received high accolades. More than half of our students who have participated at the state level have received recognition for their work and over the past two years, four separate projects went to nationals. Thank you for your consideration.
