Hiya again! It's Karen, your historian!

These past few months, I've worked mainly on scrapbook logistics and Photo of the Month. 

The November Photo of the Month winner was Miramonte High School from California. For December, it was St. Joseph’s Episcopal School from Louisiana, and for January, it was Brookwood High School from Georgia. Check out the other fantastic runner-ups on Instagram! 

I’m holding my monthly, hour-long meetings for historians to work on their scrapbooks, especially as Nats gets closer and closer! Thank you to those who’ve already come to some. Make sure to join us in April, June, and July!

As always, submit to Photo of the Month, and finally, participate in National Classics Week and go to Classicalia. Can’t wait to see y’all then!

Unfortunately, I have delayed the release of my guide for mid-March, so keep a look out for that!
