Friendly Competition
Today, Katherine joined her class of 4th, 5th, and 6th graders as they competed against the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders of another Baptist school here in Vermont. Each year, these two schools get together for a day of academic competition and fellowship. Students compete in two subject areas of their own choosing. They can select from Math, Science, History/Geography, Language Arts, Old Testament, and New Testament. There is also a Spelling Bee that they can participate in if they want to. This year Katherine competed in Science, History/Geography, and the Spelling Bee, placing in all three. Unlike the public schools, not everyone wins something. Only the top three scores in each category will win a ribbon or trophy. Katherine brought home three ribbons in the 5th grade age group. Katherine placed: Third in History/Geography Second in Science Second in the Spelling Bee
