Last week, nine groups from HALB showcased their historical research and analytical skills at the Long Island History Day Competition, held at Hofstra University. Over the past five months, under the mentorship of social studies teacher Ms. Kristen Waterman, students meticulously crafted documentaries, websites, and museum exhibits, exploring topics related to this year’s National History Day theme: Rights and Responsibilities.

On Thursday, March 20, the Rambam Civic Spirit Club had their main event of the year. At 7:20 in the morning, the students got on the bus to the historic Tweed Courthouse in Manhattan’s financial district. They sat down with eight schools from Washington, DC, to New Jersey – private and public alike – for opening remarks at around 9:30 a.m., where the students were treated with coffee and snacks as they headed down to their activities.
