bronze medal for the overall general round in the competition. All of
our students represented Claysburg-Kimmel well and gave a great effort
during the tournament.

Each student was placed on a team consisting of 4 students with 6th & 7th
graders from other schools throughout the region. They competed in 3
different problem solving activities throughout the evening. It was a
learning experience for our Bulldogs because they had to work
cooperatively with students that they had not previously met. All of
our students represented Claysburg-Kimmel well and gave a great effort
during the competition. The CK junior high members were Abigail Gonsman,
Rebekah Claar, Bailey Garver, Dylan Larson, Cassie Berkhimer, Kayley
