The West Geauga Middle School Power of the Pen teams recently competed at the district tournament, hosted by University School. We are happy to share that our seventh-grade team took FIRST PLACE out of 18 middle schools and has qualified for the regional tournament in March. Individual rankings placed several team members in the top 12 writers out of 84 seventh graders. Congratulations to Hannah Nevar who placed first, Vanessa Winningham took third place, and Cora Duxbury scooped up 5th place!
Our eighth-grade team faced tough competition, but Ellie Pierson took home 7th place individually. Additionally, team members Cassandra Gaskill, Ellie Pierson, and Emma Torer qualified for regionals.
Thank you to the Geauga West Rotary for sponsoring our team. Their support is appreciated.
