The 5th grade science classes embarked on an epic ATLAS review showdown! Each class had its own mini-challenges to crown a champion team. The top three teams then battled it out in a Jeopardy face-off that was more thrilling than a rollercoaster ride! This was not just a blast, but also a clever way to prep for the state tests looming next week. The victorious squads—the Olympians, the Crash Outs, and the Blue Barbarians—will be rewarded with a pizza party! Best of luck to all our students as they tackle test week!
