Noetic Test Success
Several students received Honorable Mention ribbons for the Noetic Test held back in November. Additionally, seven students earned National Honor Roll recognition—a tremendous accomplishment!
Special congratulations to our 3rd-grade team, which scored high enough to receive the TEAM ACHIEVEMENT AWARD! This prestigious award recognizes their placement among the highest-scoring 3rd-grade teams in the nation. Way to go, 3rd-grade mathematicians! We are so proud of your hard work and dedication.
Geography Bee Highlights
Our Geography Bee was held yesterday, with 27 students participating in the event. The competition was intense, lasting through seven challenging rounds. The top ten students advanced until we narrowed it down to two finalists: Anders N. and Beau F.
After four additional rounds of fierce competition, Beau F., a 4th grader from Mr. Lohs's class, emerged as the champion. Congratulations to Beau and to all the participants who showcased their impressive knowledge and determination. Great job, everyone!
