AWARD & ACHIEVEMENT Lowell Milken Discovery Award Winners NASHUA — Three Nashua-Plainfield High School students, Jordan Swaney, Noah Swaney and Caleb Geer, placed second in the Lowell Milken Foundation for Unsung Heroes Discovery Award competition, and will receive a $2,000 award. The students were recognized for their documentary on Jane Elliott, a Riceville, Iowa, school teacher whose classroom exercise directly confronted the racist attitudes among her students and drew national acclaim after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. The Nashua-Plainfield students originally created their documentary for the National History Day contest, where they received an award for the Outstanding Iowa Project Entry and qualified for the national contest in College Park, Maryland. The Milken Foundation award is not part of the National History Day program but rather seeks to honor projects promoting Unsung Heroes in history.
