It’s finally here!! Scholars’ Bowl County Tournament for 6th Grade will be held this week at the Shelby County Instructional Services Center (SCISC)! This Thursday, February 3rd, our team will compete with other 6th grade Scholars’ Bowl teams from around the county. Parents are welcome to attend and watch our matches! Students should report directly to the Shelby County Instructional Services Center in Alabaster on Thursday morning at 7:30am. After a short welcome, we will proceed directly to our first match which will be against Vincent! Parents, I will have copies of our schedule for the day to give to you. Everyone breaks for lunch at 1:15pm. I’ll need a parent volunteer to run and grab us pizza from Little Cesear’s (which is already paid for) as we will have lunch on-site in their lunchroom area. Students, make sure you bring any drinks you may want for lunch or other snacks. The awards ceremony will commence at 1:45pm in the auditorium. Once we grab our 1st place trophies (HMS, we’re the BEST!!), students are free to go! We do not have to return to school!

I have forwarded a list of Scholars’ Bowl Team members to our attendance clerk as this is an excused absence for your Scholars’ Bowl student.

If you did not get a letter home concerning our county tournament, PLEASE email me at shorton@shelbyed.k12.al.us and I will send another copy home with your child! If you know your child will not be in attendance at our tournament, please let me know so I can relate that to our attendance clerk and so we won’t wait on your student before beginning our first match.

Good luck 6th grade team!! You guys rock!!
