National History Day<br />
Nora Springer placed eighth of fourteen<br />
finalists chosen from a field of more than<br />
660,000 original entries in the nation for<br />
her documentary, The American Dream<br />
Deferred: The Myers Family in Levittown,<br />
PA, which she produced after months of intensive<br />
research. More than 36,000 entries<br />
comprised the junior individual documentary<br />
category, and 89 of those represented<br />
their states in the final competition in<br />
Washington, D.C. Nora was accompanied<br />
by middle school teacher Miss Melissa Kalwanaski.<br />
Nora stated, “It was just so exciting to see<br />
the work of more than 2,800 students from<br />
all over the country and the world and to<br />
meet so many other kids who love history<br />
and research as much as I do.” More than<br />
300 historians and other education professionals<br />
help to evaluate the entries during<br />
the National History Day competition.<br />
