Flint Lake Takes First Place in Science Bowl

Flint-Lake-Science-Bowl-2012After four months of practice and preparation, Flint Lake Explorer’s soared to success last week, taking 1st place in Class 3 (schools are placed in a class based on student enrollment) in the state Science Bowl competition. This is the highest ranking the elementary school has received in this competition.

The team consisted of eleven 4th and 5th grade students, who were tested on 5th, 6th, and 7th grade science standards. The team is coached by first grade teacher, Lisa Ferguson and fifth grade teacher, Kelly Garant.

This success goes hand in hand with 2 other ranking elementary schools in the Valparaiso Community School District demonstrating the exemplary work ethic and performance by our students and staff.

Northview Elementary School placed 1st in Class 4, Hayes Leonard Elementary School placed eighth, and Central Elementary came in eleventh place in Class 4 as well. Congratulations, Valparaiso Community Schools!!
