Yes, Monterey County History day took place a few weeks ago, but the winners are yet to go to the state finals in Riverside at the end of April, so the story's still quite relevant.
Plus, the student winners worked so hard, they deserve the recognition.
More than 158 participants took part in Monterey County History Day on March 17. The event, co-sponsored the Lyceum of Monterey County and the Monterey County Office of Education, was held at All Saints Day School.
Student participants demonstrated their individual interests and research skills in creating exhibits, websites, performances and documentaries on the theme Revolution, Reaction and Reform in History. The event was judged by over 30 volunteers from throughout Monterey County.
