Isn't this year's Wisconsin State National History Day tee just terrific!?!? I'm wearing it as I type.

I judged junior group exhibits on Saturday. Highlights included a project on Title IX and one on the Flambeau Mine in Ladysmith, WI. Actually, the biggest highlight is always seeing tons of kids engaged in history and creative scholarly endeavors. Even though it makes for a long day, I love going to the awards ceremony and always weep briefly during the announcement of the first few winners. Something about watching smart kids being celebrated, seeing them strut awkwardly (or elegantly) onto the stage. It's intense.
