Four Onalaska eighth-graders began working on this year’s National History Day projects before the school year even began. Sam Chilsen, Ben Reimler, Mary Diermeier and Tori Charnetzki spent last summer investigating topics and looking at the competition’s guidelines. Their final projects,including “Kindertransport: Journey to Safety,” a documentary by Chilsen and Reimler, qualified May 1 for the national competition to be held June 13-17 at the University of Maryland-College Park.
