Please help me congratulate the Andrew Jackson GEAR UP academic challenge team for winning the GEAR UP academic trophy for this year. They have competed in what was to be a best "2 out of 3" challenge format between GEAR UP members from AJHS and LHS. After winning the 1st exhibition match, we gave them a break. We had practiced: they had not! The 1st "true" event was held this past January here at AJ, and you guys may remember that we were victorious! Our second match of the 2 out of 3 format, and our LAST match of the year resulted in AJ bringing the trophy home for a year. There is no need for a 3rd match!  Next year starts a new opportunity for us to keep the trophy for another year.

The team members are:
Pam Neal-sponsor
Bardin
Latoya
Amanda
Tristan
Cameron
McKenzie
Jordan 
   

We have been sent the winners a little early for Youth Art Month in an effort to get the winners to be present at the reception tomorrow.  Please congratulate these winners and come to the reception tomorrow from 3 to 5pm (drop in) at the LCCA art gallery (the white house with the big banner cubes out front.  Which ours were designed by Blake  and Devin and painted by the Art 3 class.  So shout out to them as well!)
