Today was our First Annual Bible Bowl!
We held The Bowl in the auditorium in last period today, complete with microphones and projected points on display.
The middle school students have been doing Bible trivia once a month throughout the school year, and I have been keeping track of their individual points. There were many students neck and neck up until our semifinals. We needed to come up with the top three students from each grade to formulate Bible Bowl teams. Our contestants from 8th grade were Ruth Holloway, Joy Kirkland, and Sam Worsham. Our 7th grade competitors were Lizzie Handley, Clarke Merritt, and Waverly VerHill. Mrs. Miller chose three top Biblical scholars from 6th grade to compete this afternoon: Johnny Danley, Stephen Salah, and Ari Theophilis.
A grand time was had by all, and everyone did very well and impressed the audience with their Scriptural knowledge! There could only be one winner, however. So congratulations to the 8th grade who came out on top as the Bible Bowl Champions! Great job!
Certificate awards and ribbons will be handed out to each contestant in Bible class on Thursday.
I will remind the students that while Bible trivia is tons of fun, and we should thirst for a full knowledge of God's Word, the most important aspect our our walks with Christ is our heart's relationship with our Savior. In this way, I pray all of our students are champions! :)
Love,
Mrs. A

7th Grade Fiesta! :)
Dear 7th Grade Parents,
In celebration of finishing the non-fiction novel Breaking Through by Francisco Jimenez, we will be having una fiesta (a party) in our English class on Thursday, May 30th.
We will be taking an American Citizenship Exam (for fun), playing cultural games, listening to Mexican music, and eating Mexican cuisine.
I will provide all the paper products, decorations, and a piñata for the party. I am sending a sign-up sheet around for the kiddos to choose an item that they wish to contribute to our party, per your approval.
Thank you for any help you can give to this fun event!
Viva Mexico!
