A group of Northland Preparatory Academy (NPA) students will be bringing their documentary on three gold rushes to the National History Competition in Maryland next month. She also leads the NPA club for high schoolers interested in completing a History Day project. All of her eighth graders complete a project based around the history day theme and she selects student projects to move to the regional competition. While only the first and second place teams in each category advance, two additional groups of NPA students earned third place at state. Students can create a paper, documentary, website, performance or exhibit to enter into History Day, though for the class project, Shafer had her students make a documentary.
