Some Bragging

Dear parents,

Please permit me a few moments to brag about our Academic Quest team. They competed last week at Lutheran High North.  Against competition from some larger, older, and more established schools Epiphany continued our path of excellence.  We successfully defended our title and took first place in the overall team event. The team was composed of Grace, Luc, Ava, William,and Stephen.
 
Part of the competition was open events, in which individual students competed against all middle school students. In these open competitions the following students won:
·         Stephen took first place in World Geography
·         Luc took third place in World Geography
·         Rachel took fourth place in Women of the Bible
·         Ava took sixth place in Women of the Bible
·         Gabe took fifth place in Astronomy
·         Julene took fourth place in Literature
·         Emma took sixth place in Literature
 
For events that are specific to a grade level the following students won:
·         Stephen was the overall champion for seventh grade
·         Stephen also took third place in math and first place in science in the seventh grade division
·         Gabe took second place in seventh grade science
·         Daniel  took fifth place in eighth grade science
·         Abby took second place in sixth grade grammar
·         Julene took sixth place in seventh grade grammar 
·         Luc took third place in sixth grade History
·         William took first place in seventh grade Bible knowledge
·         Stephen took second place in seventh grade Bible knowledge
·         Rachel took fifth place in sixth grade Bible knowledge
 
Although we always enjoy our extra-curricular activities, academics is the place we really shine.  Next week I'll return to my normal blog, but this week I appreciate you taking the time to read some bragging.
 
Thanks for reading,
