National History Day Competition
On Sunday March 16th, four Mansfield High School students attended the South Shore District History Day Competition at Foxboro High School. Massachusetts History Day is the state program for National History Day that strives to help students become better prepared and more knowledgeable citizens through the creation of historical projects. On Sunday, two entries were vying to advance to the state competition.
Each entry was based on historical research done by the students and must relate to this year's theme, which is Rights and Responsibilities. These students presented their work to the judges and were asked on-the-spot interview questions about their products. Students were assessed on their historical content, relation to theme, as well as the quality of their project.
In the Group Documentary category, Ben Hubbard, Aditya Sandhu, and Reyansh Srivastava competed with their project titled “Beyond the Lab: Breaches of Rights and a Lack of Responsibility for Unit 731.”
In the Individual Documentary category Britney Quan competed with her project titled “The Forgotten Holocaust: The Rape of Nanjing.” Britney’s project received a medal making her eligible to advance to the State Competition on April 12th at Winchester High School. Students who are successful at the state competition will represent Massachusetts at the National History Day Finals, June 8-13, at the University of Maryland.
Congratulations to everyone!

The EXCEL Program in conjunction with the Special Education Department at Bridgewater State University hosted a Transition Conference. Ms. Cunio was asked to be one of the presenters.
The conference presentation centered on key aspects of preparing students aged 14-22 for adulthood, with a strong emphasis on ensuring a smooth transition from secondary education to adult services and post-secondary life. It underscored the importance of early planning and collaboration between students, families, and service providers, particularly in the area of career readiness, to facilitate this transition. The session explored strategies for developing job skills through internships, work-based learning, and career exploration activities. Additionally, it highlighted customized approaches to meet the diverse needs of students, aiming to enhance both employability and self-determination.
