Nine of our Jr. Cougars in third through fifth grade and nine of our middle schoolers in sixth through eighth grade met the qualifications to participate in the CCAC MATH BOWL which took place on Friday, February 21st at Lancaster County Christian School. Whoop! Whoop! 

The competition included written tests, team activities, and a STEM challenge. There was also be a time of prayer and keynote speaker to help focus our hearts and minds on Jesus and encourage the students as they prepare to use their God-given gifts of big brains :) in this unique, challenging, and fun experience! :) 

What an amazing and fun day we had with our Jr. Cougars and middle schoolers! They worked hard, met some new friends, faced challenges with courage, grace, and JOY, and most of all shined Jesus in their words and actions. We are so proud of each and every one of them!
