When the scoring for the junior teams was completed, the 5th grade team made up of Rachel Choi, An Lo, Edwin Olvera-Villatoro and Bailey Phillips took 4th place in writing, and 3rd place in their skit. The 6th grade team made up of Lauren Ardrey, Abbie Glaser, Zach Martin and Tyler Phillips took 2nd place in writing, and 1st place in skit! Because the 6th grade team won their division at the State Bowl, they have been invited to the International Bowl in June, at Indiana University. Wow!!!!
