Congratulations to Elias Fordham for being selected as a Top Performer! Elias has been doing a great job answering toss-ups, especially our Math questions. He also made sure to start spelling on a rebound before we ran out of time and made sure to earn the points for us.

Congratulations to our recent top performers!

Congratulations to Wesley S.! Wesley consistently answers toss up questions correctly and helps with many bonus questions as one of the men in the middle. He definitely knows how to "strike a pose" and has been such a great addition to the team!

Congratulations to Grayson C.! With a little encouragement from Mr. Doty, Grayson has been sticking his neck out and buzzing in with very good guesses! He has been doing such a great job and we are so happy to have him as part of the team.
