During the weekend of May 10th-12th, four of our 8th grade students competed in the Middle School National Quiz Bowl Championship held in Rosemont, Illinois. 919 students on 176 teams qualified from 131 schools which included 24 U.S. States, and one team from South Korea.
Our team, which consisted of Rose Huse, Axel Abrahamson, Finn Gidden, and Ryan duSaire did extremely well with a 5-3 record. This is the first year SLPMS has had Quiz Bowl Teams so this is an exciting accomplishment. We competed against teams who have participated in Quiz Bowl for many years.
Students were also rated on their individual performance as well as team ranking. Please congratulate Rose Huse on being in the top 14% with her answers at this National Tournament. The students were amazing and work together as a team, relying on each others' strengths, kindness and encouragement. Park Pride was strong and well represented!

REM5 Virtual Reality Field Trip
|
|
Students in 8th grade have been invited to participate in the 8th Grade Projects Expo. This event is a celebration of middle school students who have taken their learning and refined it through public speaking. Students interested in growing these skills have been offered coaching through virtual reality field trips (two of them) and two real life coaching sessions.
The next live coaching opportunity for these students will be taking place in the library media center from 2:20 - 2:55 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21st. Students will be practicing portions of their speeches and getting tips from Ms. Keeya Allen, a talented and experienced public speaker.
Pictured below are students at the Virtual Reality Lab, REM5 field trip on Thursday, May 16th. Head of School, Les Bork, served as one of the chaperones and gave individual feedback to students on their speeches.
Please mark your calendar to stop by the Middle School on the evening of
May 30th
to see our students showing off their speaking skills starting at 7 p.m.
