The Soaring Jeffs Quiz Bowl Club participated in their first competition for 2016, January 24, at the ESU #5 Tournament held at Thayer Central Intermediate Schools. Two teams from Jefferson Intermediate, all 6th graders, answered questions through 6 round robin matches followed by a single elimination tournament. All matches were 16 questions from the subjects of social sciences, language arts, science, math, fine arts, sports, misc., and year in review (current events). Both teams did a fabulous job competing with teams from BDS, Diller/Odell, Freeman, Meridian, and Thayer Central, with our own Fairbury A team, consisting of Zane Grizzle, Alex Buxton, Caleb Trimm, Noelani Cervantes and Haidyn Carstens taking home the gold hardware. The Fairbury B team, consisting of Rorik Blatny, Steven Aden, Alissa York, Ericka Kroeker, and Brigham Scheetz, also competed hard but fell short of the medal round.
The Soaring Jeffs Quiz Bowl Club is comprised of 5th and 6th graders and Co-Sponsors Angie Judd and Tammy Klaumann. We invite next year’s 5th and 6th graders to think about joining this club. Ask any of its current members or sponsors for details.
