tionals with his exhibit titled: Malaga Island: The Community That Maine Erased. Each year nearly 3,000 students and their parents gather at the University for the week-long event. These groups come from all over the United States and the excitement can be felt across the campus. Students spend months carefully selecting a topic, researching, and preparing for the event. Over 90 students competed in Noah’s division of Senior Individual Exhibit. This is the
first time since the 1980’s that a Maine student has won National History Day. Noah has competed in the event for the past four years, but is the first time he has placed. He was also asked to display his exhibit in the Smithsonian Museum of American History along with receiving a $1,000 scholarship. Noah completed his exhibit as part of a unit in his Freshman Humanities class at Noble taught by EXCEL teacher Adina Hunter and History Teacher Janice Eldridge.

It is as much about inspiring good photography as it is about getting people out on the land to enjoy this wonderful place.” said Karen Young, Coordinator for the MtA2C coalition. The contest invites photographers to submit their best two photos from any season in each of three categories - People on the Land, Wildlife and Plants and Scenery including historical sites. Photos must be taken within the six-town MtA2C service area including Kittery, Eliot, York, So. Berwick, Ogunquit and Wells. In addition, images capturing nature and recreation at the region’s public preserves are of particular interest.
