The Education contests at the Nebraska State Fair, once again, proved to be a great opportunity for Centennial students. Eighty-two individual awards were earned by the students at the annual fair in August.
Savings bonds are awarded to all students who place either 1st or 2nd in a contest, in their respective divisions. One hundred dollar bonds are awarded to the first place winners and fifty dollar bonds for second place. Centennial students received savings bonds totaling to $1000 this year:
Contests that included Centennial participants were: Art, Essay, Spelling Bee, Science Test, Social Studies Test, Math Test, Grammar Test, Junior High and Senior High Quiz Bowls, Improvisation Contest, Impromptu Speaking, Environmental Poster, Science Display, Power Point, Computer Graphics, and Shakespeare Interpretation.
Team highlights include one of the Centennial High School Quiz Bowl teams that competed placed 3rd. Centennial took the 2nd and 3rd place honors in the High School Improvisation contest. The Middle School team placed 3rd in Improvisation as well.
Also awarded were awards for overall champions in the Education contests. A point was given for each contest that a student competed in, with additional points given for placing in a contest. Sam Wilton received 2nd in the overall sweepstakes in the High School Division, Ann Wilton placed 4th and Cody Pariset received Honorable Mention in the same division. Clare Wilton placed 2nd in the overall sweepstakes in the Middle School Division. At the Elementary level, William Wilton placed 4th overall, and Brayden Haberman placed 5th.
