A huge congratulations go to our 3rd-grade technical team, the Labyrinth Escapers, who qualified for Global Finals in Knoxville, TN at the end of May. These students performed a strong skit about sailors and pirates, while navigating a pirate ship through a maze using technical methods. They also performed a task in their instant challenge and succeeded in solving their problem! Team members include Jason McCollum, who navigated the pirate ship through the maze; Abbi Penn, Brandon Gardner, and Vincent Soloria, who were all the pesky pirates determined to steal the gold coins; and David Barthelmeh, Kalli Woodrum, who were the sailors responsible to deliver the gold coins.
Middle School teams:
A huge congratulations go to our 5th-grade improv team, the Mischievous Ones, who also qualified for global finals in Knoxville, TN at the end of May. These students performed a skit that had to be created right on the spot. Their task was to include an unlikely location, an unusual setback, a cultural treasure, and two researchers in their improv skit. Team members include our two funny researchers, Wiley Glasgow and Adam Hiser; the narrator who directs the story, Wes Johnson; and our cultural treasure owner, Olivia Doss. They also had to perform a task instant challenge and succeeded in solving their problem!
