Ernest Ward Students Awarded At History Fair
March 1, 2010
Several Ernest Ward Middle School students received awards Saturday for their National History Day projects in a district competition in Pensacola. Victoria Wright’s “Barcode” project won a NSDAR Excellence in History Award, and she received Honorable Mention in the county competition. She also received a T.T. Wentworth Museum Best in Show Award given by West Florida Historic Preservation, Inc.
Courtney Solari’s “Cotton Gin” project won third place in the African American Heritage Awards given by the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.
Samantha Barrow and Tamara Green’s “Women’s Suffrage” project won a Holly Benson Women’s History Award and they also received $50 each for their win.
“I was very proud of all of our students,” said Ernest Ward geography teacher Laura Chavers.
The top seven projects from a Ernest Ward History Fair headed to the district competition. EWMS students were required to do research into a topic on the theme Innovation in History: Impact and Change. The research was presented in exhibit form, much like the typical science fair. Students complete projects either individually or in teams of two.

Way to go Victoria! we are so proud of you. All of your hard work and research paid off. sorry you were not able to be at the awards ceremony on Saturday. It is very impressive that you missed the ceremony to attend the 1st annual, Pensacola invitational, (Pi) math competition. Congratulations on the giant trophy and a second place overall finish for the team! We are so proud of you as I am sure everyone at EWMS is.
Wow Victoria, way to go! That is just wonderful. Congratulations to all the participants and winners!
