Merinda's Academic Team

Since Merinda is my youngest and will be going to Middle School next year, this will be my last year to attend grade-school academic team matches. 
Merinda's team did well during the season, but the real competition begins with the District Competition. Here the team is getting a little pep talk from one of  their coaches. The thing I most proud of is that Merinda was the only girl out of all the quick recall teams. 
Merinda also competed in Social Studies where she placed fourth out of the District.
Both Ben Richie (who scored first place in Social Studies) and Merinda were able to advance to Regional's, which was held in Frankfort, KY.

Merinda's coaches whom she adored--Mr. Mann and Mrs. Bennett.
Merinda's school received 2nd place overall at District. 
Merinda was also apart of Future Problem Solvers (FPS). Her FPS team scored second place in District and third place at Regionals. 
Merinda sporting her FPS attire which the girls designed. There slogan was: In a pickle? Just call Ann Mason Future Problem Solvers. The most exciting part about the t-shirts was seeing if Mr. Mann would wear the t-shirt on competition day (which he did--with pride!).
Merinda's biggest fan!
