The Daily Tidbits....Saturday & Sunday

The First Injury Award to Elise Croteau-Chonka for a swollen lip caused by sub-par juggling....or maybe she was fielding for the Cubbies. Her friend Sandra Peters does not look all that worried though. Congratulations, Elise: you win the award for your good humor and because it was not all that serious an injury. Please note, NHD-ers: the injury category is now officially closed!






The First Request for MORE Buttons goes to Shantel Jarmon -- clocked in at 9:45 a.m. on Sunday. Congratulations, Shantel! Stay tuned: how many state buttons will Shantel collect this week? Is anyone in the Illinois-NHD delegation going to collect them all?











Hey--look at who is a finalist for the Richard Farrell Teaching Award! It's Barry Bradford, History Fair sponsor at Stevenson High School. Congratulations, Barry, you have certainly earned this recognition for the ways in which you have enriched your students' lives by helping them to discover why history matters. Those whose lives have been touched by you and your students' research, political, and moral journeys applaud your nomination as Teacher of the Year.
