Scholars’ Bowl for Tuesday, October 26th

A big thank you to all members of the 6th grade team as well as to those spectators who came out to cheer us on! Helena played a tough match against Oak Mountain Middle School and came out on top for the first match!

We will not play a match against another team next Tuesday, November 2nd, but we will have practice in Ms. Watford’s room (B212). Bring your drink and snack to enjoy with other team members until we get going with our practice session. Students, review those information sheets I gave you today and even watch a show or two of Jeopardy before next Tuesday! I bet you’ll be surprised at how much you really know!!
