Academic Team
Academic Team offers an opportunity for students to compete against other schools in a specific content area. Students that are chosen to compete for our school must be committed to studying their subject area outside of school as well as attend weekly practices. The district competition is normally held in February and then students that advance to Regionals will compete a few weeks later. This club is perfect for students that love to learn, work hard, and have a high level of sportsmanship. Unfortunately, spots are limited so students wanting to join this club must try out. Try Outs will be on Sept. 28th and Oct. 5th for 4th and 5th grade students. The first practice will be on Oct 19th.
