Academic Fair

Today we had an Academic Fair for the 6 elementary schools that feed into the same high school. Our 1st - 5th graders competed in different areas: 1st - 3rd competed in math, spelling and poetry and 4th and 5th competed in math, spelling, poetry, number sense, science and geography. We only had a few weeks to prepare our students, but we had a few winners place between 1st and 6th place in every grade level except 3rd. But watching those kids who competed anxiously wait for their names to be called and then not hearing it was heartbreaking. There were so many that were extremely disappointed at not placing. Hopefully, we will be more prepared next year and will have more winners and fewer disappointments
