LJHS Science Olympiad Team Captures 2nd in State Competition
The Lisle Junior High School Science Olympiad Team traveled to the University of Illinois for the Illinois State Finals of Science Olympiad on Saturday, April 26th. The team placed 2nd out of 20 qualifying schools in the Class A division and 9th out of the 39 in the combined Class A and Class AA divisions.
Team members won an impressive eight medals!
1st Place Medals:
Jay Sanders and Forrest Anderson in Balloon Launch Glider
Greg Dzuricsko and Neal Kfoury in Science Word
Ryan Twaddle and Robbie Dean in Scrambler
Najid Ali and Neal Kfoury in Oceanography
3rd Place Medals:
Greg Dzuricsko and Robbie Dean in Ecology
Betsy McKay and Cassie Parks in Crave the Wave
Andrew Mogensen and Ryan Twaddle in Reach for the Stars
4th Place Medal:
Connor Liss and Shannon Tai in Write It Do It
Neal Kfoury and Greg Dzuricsko not only placed first in the Class A division for Science Word, but they also placed first overall in the combined Class A / AA with 17 words correct. Science Word is a password-like game in which one person gives a two-word clue to a science vocabulary word and the teammate tries to guess the word.
Najid Ali and Neal Kfoury not only placed first in the Class A division of Oceanography, but placed second overall in the combined Class A / AA.
Jay Sanders and Forrest Anderson grabbed the title for Balloon Launch Glider in Class A and second overall in the combined Class A / AA with flight times of 2 minutes 20 seconds and 2 minutes 40 seconds. In the competition a 2.6 gram balsa wood glider is perched atop a helium balloon and then launched from just under the ceiling.
Ryan Twaddle and Robbie Dean not only placed first in the Class A division of Scrambler, but fourth in the combined Class A / AA. The Scrambler competition requires participants to stop a wheeled vehicle with an egg attached to the front at a prescribed distance. The distance however is not known until the day of the competition.
A standing room only crowd was in attendance at the 4th Annual 3-on-3 KwaNdengezi Classic Friday, March 14th. Each of the participating teams was randomly placed into the single elimination tournament bracket. Creativity was abundant in the "Classic"…teams modeled originally designed uniforms and sported one-of-a-kind names. Over one hundred twenty students, nine faculty members, and forty teams took to the hardwood. The action took place on all four courts simultaneously. The 2008 tournament champions were the Lisle & One Ballas in the boys’ division and the “80s” Babes in the girls’ division. . Fans cheered on their favorites, sported their team’s colors, and raised placards in support of the hoopsters. 3 Blind Mice and the Old Lady took home the first ever "best" costume award. The crowd was on their feet as the quartet, with blind canes, in hand strolled into the gym. Although the final four team members received certificates and a t-shirt winning was not the purpose of the Classic’s hoop action.
The afternoon’s goal…everyone can make a difference!
The money raised at the "Classic", over $900 was to be donated to FEEDBACK, an organization in South Africa that inspires community development through redistribution of food. (See "Headlines" for more on the story.)
IMPORTANT INFO!
Attendance / 493-8299 / Please telephone before 8:00 a.m. each day to report your student's absence. Our attendance telephone line is active 24 hours a day. You may call this number anytime during the evening or night if you know your student will not be in school.
Our junior high school parking lot is a very busy place prior to the start of classes each morning and at the end of the day each afternoon. If you drop off your student in the morning or pick them up after school, please help us to provide a safe and orderly environment by pulling your car up as much as possible to the far east end of the circle to allow more cars to pull in behind you. By doing this we can avoid back-ups, the sidewalk remains available to your child and cars may then arrive and depart in a more orderly manner.
Also, in the half hour before the start of school (7:30 AM – 8:00 AM) and at the end of the school day, please do not leave your car parked unattended in the circle area at any time for any reason. This causes congestion and back-ups that we want to avoid. If you need to come into the building, even if for a “short” period of time, please park your car in the parking lot. Thank you for your co-operation. Mr. Tim Pociask, Principal
