Peak to Peak Charter Middle School achieved 2nd place in Brain Bowl!

 

 

(Lafayette, Colorado)  On Saturday, January 21st middle school teams from all over Colorado and Wyoming competed for top honors as they showed off their team skills and general knowledge of math, science, history, current events, literature and more in the 2006 Optimist Brain Bowl Invitational Tournaments.  A 6th, 7th and 8th grade team from Peak to Peak participated in the qualifying rounds throughout the morning.  Total scores from a written as well as many oral rounds determined whether the teams would compete in the afternoon’s elimination rounds.  All three Peak to Peak teams qualified for the elimination rounds as being one of the top eight scoring teams per grade.  After the eliminating rounds our 8th grade team achieved fourth place.  Our 7th grade team (in the above picture) went through to the final round and achieved second place.  All students had  so much fun and are planning to compete again next year.
