Academic Team

As some of you may know, I am a participant on the Apollo Academic Team. I participate in science written assessment, Future Problem Solving (FPS), and Quick Recall. But I'm not going to talk about myself in this blog; rather, I'm going to try to promote said academic team.

We have many different areas of study and participation at academic team. The individual ones - arts and humanities, language arts, social studies, science, math, and composition - equal plenty of strokes for different folks. The team ones - FPS and quick recall - are very fun as well. FPS allows for teammates to work together to come up with a six step solution to a stated problem, and quick recall allows for teams to directly compete against each other by buzzing in and answering read questions.

Even at practices we have have a fun time, and they're pretty laid back. We have some laughs, but we can also be serious when necessary (game time). We go many different places throughout the year, including a few out of state competitions and various trips to other schools for Pennyrile tournaments.

Call us nerds, but we're a pretty freakin' cool bunch. If you are even remotely interested in just knowing more about the team, tell me or Ms. Mann or Mr. Paff. Tell other people too - we are in definite need of JV players!
