                         Tuesday, June 10, 2014

  Mr. MICHAUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the winners of 
Maine's National History Day competition who are eligible to represent 
our State in the national competition.
  Maine's National History Day program is a partnership between the 
University of Maine and the Margaret Chase Smith Foundation that 
promotes the study of history in schools. This year, the students were 
tasked with pursuing projects centered on the theme of ``Rights & 
Responsibilities in History.'' Among those eligible to represent Maine 
at the national competition are 30 students from across Maine's Second 
Congressional District.
  The following students are eligible to represent Maine at the 
national competition: Sydney McDonald and Kathleen Dunn of Bangor High 
School; Abby Boucher of Penobscot Christian School; Lily Waddell of the 
William S. Cohen School; Dennis Wescott, Norliyana Menes, Jordyn 
Bennett, and Brooklyn Hutchins of Buckfield Jr/Sr High School; Sela R. 
Smith and Ben Buck of Dingo High School; Jacob Brown, Josie Champagne, 
and Tiana Gordon of Lawrence High School; Damian Sheffer, Cecilia 
Doering, Cannon Breen, and Trey Stimpel of Holbrook Middle School; 
Anderson Huston, Samantha Grandahl, and Alyssa Thompson of Monmouth 
Academy; Lauren Grant of Center Drive School; Katelyn Dufour, Nathalie 
Theriault, Madeline Tiner, Sydney Gosselin, Katelynn Green, Morgan 
Brousseau, Sarah Moody, and Bailee Kinney of Bruce M. Whittier Middle 
School; Ben Voter, Chandler Plante, Mariah Lancaster, Jaime Withrow, 
Abigail Stevens, Thomas Leo, and Emily Michaud of Skowhegan Area Middle 
School; and Jessica Doucette, Jenna Doucette, and Margaret Bragg of 
Hartford Sumner Elementary School.
  These talented students and the history educators that support them 
are a testament to the creative and dynamic spirit of Maine. I look 
forward to hearing about their progress as they participate in the 
national contest at the University of Maryland, College Park from June 
15-19, 2014.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me again in congratulating these students 
for their outstanding achievements and in wishing them the best of luck 
at the national competition.
