C.F. Patton Middle School students in 6th and 8th grade recently participated in The American Scholastic Achievement League Scholastic Challenge. This contest consisted of 100 challenging computer generated enrichment questions, which allowed students to individually demonstrate a variety of problem solving skills and knowledge in many academic areas. We are proud to announce that out of 4500 sixth grade students nationwide, Hunter Courtney was named the state of Pennsylvania champion, and has earned a trophy for this accomplishment. Additionally, Eric Folmar was named the Pennsylvania State Champion at the 8th grade level and will also be presented with a trophy for his efforts. This year’s contest for 8th grade involved the participation of approximately 16,000 very knowledgeable middle school students. We are very pleased to share more exciting news that Eric Folmar, along with David Linskens, Ryan Hastings, and Ethan Pan were named the nation’s Gold Medal Team Winners and will be awarded with gold medals for their outstanding performance.
