Clubs and Groups

This is our 10th year of competing in the Governor's Cup Academic Competition. Our team is made up of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. The team members compete against four other schools in District Competition and up to 14 in Regional Competition. Medals can be earned by individuals and by teams. Individuals compete in written assessment in the areas of Math, Language Arts, Arts and Humanities, Science, Social Studies, and Composition. Then a team of four compete in Quick Recall matches against other schools. They are asked various questions and the team members buzz in to answer. The team with the highest score wins. A team of four compete in Future Problem Solving against other schools. They are given a scenario with a problem to be solved and they solve it. Their response is scored and the team with the highest score wins. Being a member is both challenging and rewarding.
