Northern Academic team takes 2nd in district and region

    On Saturday, March 6, 2021, the Northern Elementary academic team participated in the Kentucky Governor’s Cup competition.
    Earlier this year, at the district competition, the students competed against other schools and received 2nd place. The following students also placed in the individual Written Assessment events at the district level: Nick Black- 1st place Mathematics and 1st place Science; Kip Gregg- 1st place Social Studies and 1st place Language Arts; Cadence Ryan- 3rd place Written Composition and 2nd place Social Studies; Dorothy Beebe- 5th place Language Arts; Kendra Maxedon- 4th place Social Studies; Lucas Burton- 3rd place Arts and Humanities.
    To protect both the students and the coaches from Covid-19, the Governor’s Cup Competition was held online this year. One of the coaches of the team, Jennifer Redden, said, “The online format had some advantages, like being able to get results quickly and easily. We will probably use it in the future.”
    In the Regional Competition, the students continued to perform well! Northern Elementary student Nick Black placed 3rd in the Math category and first in Social Studies. Kip Gregg received 2nd place in Science and 3rd in Language Arts. Lucas Burton received 2nd place in the Arts and Humanities Written Assessment. Cadence Ryan received 3rd place in Social Studies and 1st in Composition.
    At both the District and Regional Governor’s Cup Competition the team placed second overall. At the Regional Governor’s Cup, Northern Elementary students faced off against competitors from twenty other schools to earn their spot as Runners-Up. Northern Elementary is very proud of its Academic team!
