MLS Academic Quest Winners – held at Lutheran High North January 30, 2008

Lutheran High North hosted its annual Academic Quest competition on January 30, 2008 and our MLS students did very well this year. Students in grades 6, 7 and 8 compete in individual grade-specific academic events and open events such as literature, weather, measurements, etc. The day concluded with the team event - each school was allowed 5 team members (no more than 2 from each grade) and was required to answer timed questions from all academic areas. We are so proud that MLS placed 4th in the team event - way to go! The "team event" members were 8th graders Nicolas Amenedo and Jaime Rivera, 7th grader Isobo Amaso, and 6th graders Donna Elassaad and Caspar Flinder

Top individual award winners were: Jaime Rivera - 2nd place in Measurements and 2nd in 8th grade Math; Caspar Flinder - 3rd place in 6th grade Math; Hannah Wick - 4th place overall in sixth grade competition, 1st place in 6th grade Science, 4th in Weather, 5th in 6th grade History, and 6th place in 6th grade Bible. Other MLS students placing in the top 10 were: Jesper Jacobsen - 7th place in 6th grade Math, Donna Elassaad - 8th place in 6th grade Math; Michaela Maxwell - 10th place in 8th grade Grammar; Alysia Anderson - 10th place in 8th grade History; and Nicolas Amenedo - 10th place in Literature (students were required to read Fahrenheit 451 prior to the event). Approximately 300 students participated in this event, and overall our MLS students exhibited great academic skills! We thank Ron Wittler at LHN for coordinating Academic Quest.
