History Matters Fellows Hard at Work

Each year, the Chicago Metro History Education Center selects great teachers to be indentured servants....er...I mean...History Matters Fellows at the National History Day contest. This year's Fellows include Anne Agostinelli from Haines Elementary, Carole Goodfriend of Niles West, and Sara Hoitink from Grayslake North.

Aside from making these fantastic teachers swelter in the dorms, they also get the opportunity to do fun - and challenging - jobs like judging NHD projects.
