🎉 Texas History Day at Talkington 🎉

Yesterday, our 7th grade students showcased months of hard work at Texas History Day, presenting research projects that explored meaningful moments, people, and movements in Texas history. From exhibits and websites to documentaries, students demonstrated strong historical thinking, creativity, and confidence as they shared their learning with our judges. Mrs. Allison definitely prepared these students to present incredible work!

We are incredibly proud of the dedication our students showed throughout this process and grateful for the community judges who volunteered their time to support and encourage our historians.

Thank you to Westex Federal Credit Union for generously providing breakfast and lunch for our judges to help make this day a success.

Enjoy a glimpse of the outstanding projects and presentations from yesterday’s event!
