The social studies fair this year has been quite challenging! With so many changes at our school and me having additional school duties as well as a very involved 11-year old, I felt like social studies preparation was not its best this year. Even though we (myself and the students) struggled this year, we have also seen the most success in the process since I've been social studies department chair. We have two projects that placed first in the district fair and have advanced to the southwest regional fair in Perry, Georgia and one project that placed second in the district fair. I am VERY proud of my students. Their hard work and dedication rose above our obstacles this year and I am so happy to see their advancement in this competition. **Updates: Xavier Green placed first in the Regional Social Studies Fair in Perry, Georgia. Dhruvi Patel placed 2nd. A big congratulations to these hardworking students! Xavier Green, 6th grader, 1st place Regional Social Studies Fair. Way to represent Fort!
