FCUSD students shine at Sacramento County History Day and advance to state competition
On March 2 many Folsom Cordova students competed in the Sacramento County History Day competition at Inderkum High School in Sacramento.
The theme for Sacramento County History Day this year was "Triumph and Tragedy". Students from elementary, middle and high schools from Rancho Cordova and Folsom participated and competed. They have been supported and coached by some of our awesome teachers in the district and proved themselves very successful.
As a whole the district had a very successful day, and will be sending many students on to the state competition in May.
