last Saturday, 2/28. The team went 5-1 in the preliminary round,
qualifying them for the tournament round where they were narrowly defeated by
Ravenwood. In their first year of competition, our Science Bowl team

Quote

Sometimes it is
the people who no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can
imagine.
Practice L&N Habits every day: Collaboration, Critical
thinking, Design, Innovation, Inquiry, & Professionalism
