Diller-Odell Competes at Thayer Central Elementary Quiz Bowl
On Tuesday, October 14, 2014, a team of 5th graders and a team of 6th graders traveled with Mr. Larsen to compete at the 2nd Annual Thayer Central Elementary Quiz Bowl. The teams consisted of five 5th Graders (Mallory Denner, Allison Engelman, Kellen Gegg, Madelyn Meyerle, and Madeline Swanson) and four 6th graders (Korey Theye, Jadyn Schulits, Addison Heidemann, and Brianna Weers). They competed against six other schools, Bruning/Davenport, Centennial, David City, Republic County, Sutton, and Thayer Central. They were questioned over all core subject areas, sports, fine arts, miscellaneous, and year in review. This was a round robin format competition with the top three placing teams winning medals. The Diller-Odell 5th graders went 4 and 2, earning a 3rd place victory, while the 6th graders went 2-4. Three of the 6th grade losses come down to either the last question or two. Both teams did extremely well and should be proud of their accomplishments.
The Quiz Bowl team would like to thank all of the family members that come over to help support them. Without your support and encouragement we would not be able to achieve our goals.
