Geneva’s three-member Certamen (quiz game) team consisting of 6th graders Erista Albritton, Grace Brooks, and Andrew Brown, represented us well against older and more experienced teams. They have already begun strategizing for next year’s Certamen tournament!
In the “Ludi” (Games) category, Deon Beytell’s special efforts led his teammates to victory in the classical Scavenger Hunt.
We congratulate the Geneva team for their strong effort and for their awards! They made us proud on Saturday.
