Academic Team meet
Last Friday, December 6th, the DMS Academic team went to their second team meet of the year.
There are 18 members on the team. The sixth graders on the team include Joseph Stroud, Bralen Churchman, Harrison Talbot, Cameron Ferguson, Avery Knapp, Carter Mitchell, and Cole Crimmins. The 7th grade students on the team are Landon Thacker, Noah McFatridge, Luke McFatridge, Ava Miller, Sidney Miller, and Megan Bumpas. Last, but not least, the eighth-grade team members are Caleb McFatridge, Henry Spoering, Jackson Butler, Jackson Conn, and Seth Downey.
The 18 members on the team are split into two teams, know as Duncan #1 and Duncan #2.
Rosie Castle, an 8th grade STEM teacher, helps with the academic team, along with Jenny Sutherland and Hope Mcfatridge.
Mrs.Castle was very pleased with the turnout of the second meet for the team, saying, “The team did very good overall. Duncan #1 got 3rd place, which means they get to onto area, while Duncan #2 got 5th place, so they get to move onto what they call the Firebird Bracket.”
The times for the next meet have not been decided yet, but hopefully there will be a successful turnout for both of the teams, and congratulations to both teams for doing so well in their meets!
