Starting in mid-February and ending on March 4th, the NC Seventh and Eighth-grade Scholars Bowl Participants worked hard and used their brains to achieve greatness at Scholars Bowl meets. The seventh graders took first place in their respective league and the Eighth grade took 8th.
The Seventh graders used their combined brain power to answer questions and compete against other schools. With their skill and knowledge, they managed to go undefeated with a few close calls they managed to claim first place in their Big Seven League Championship. The assistant coach, Mrs. Stallbaumer, commented, “The seventh-grade scholars worked hard to learn new information. With lots of practice, the seventh-grade team ended the season as League Champs! I am so proud of all of them for trying something new and stepping outside their comfort zone.”
