Second Place for Maxon Wiese!

Eighth-grader Maxon Wiese of Ord Junior-Senior High School in Ord, Nebraska, captured second place in his region’s History Day district competition with his project on the Boston Molasses Flood, and advanced to the Nebraska statewide competition. Maxon did not quite make it to the nationals, but his teacher, Karley Zoucha, said Maxon gained some important new skills through completing his project. I was honored to work with Maxon on his project!
