of all of all of our Regional Social Studies Fair winners ,” said Samantha Fuhrey , superintendent of Newton County School System . “ They worked very hard on their projects and should be proud of their awards . Social Studies is an important subject as it serves as the foundation for developing judgments and understandings that influence future decisions ; it serves to enable us to understand the world around us . Students who participate in the Social Studies Fair are to be commended for their hard work and desire to understand the impact of events throughout time .”
