Four eighth-grade students from Our Mother of Perpetual Help School (OMPH School) in Ephrata recently took part in the regional level of the National History Day competition. Isabelle Erb created a documentary about the impact of radio on life in the 1950s, Claire McAleer constructed an exhibit about the Navajo Code, and Erin Covey designed an exhibit about Martin Luther King Jr. One eighth-grader, Alyson Dreihaup, placed in the regional competition and qualified to compete at the state level. Alyson created a website about Helen Keller's impact on the world.
All eighth-grade students at OMPH School, while researching the topics that they chose, learned various skills, including analysis and interpretation, research skills, literacy skills, and technologically advanced applications for presentations. Students needed to adhere to the theme of "Communication in History: A Key to Understanding" while creating and defending their theses.
OMPH School seeks to teach reverence, respect, and responsibility. The school offers full-day preschool, full-day kindergarten, and classes for students in grades one through eight. For more information, call 717-738-2414 or visit http://www.omphschool.com.
