On Saturday, January 19, Olmstead School hosted the district’s annual middle school academic team competition known as Governor’s Cup. District 17 for the academic team, consists of five local schools: Adairville, Chandlers, Lewisburg, Olmstead, and Russellville. All five schools competed in several different competitions. The schools visited Olmstead earlier in the week to compete in Future Problem Solving and Written Composition. Then on Saturday, students took written assessments in five areas: math, science, social studies, language arts, and arts and humanities. Also, on Saturday all five teams competed in Quick Recall events.
This year Governor’s Cup was a big success thanks to the many people who continuously volunteered their time, from parents to teachers to former students. They are used as proctors for the tests, quick recall officials, judges, moderators, and scorers. Olmstead teachers also went above and beyond by supplying an endless buffet of food for the hospitality room, which helped to feed those volunteers. Olmstead’s PTO pitched in by running the concession stand and also contributing to the hospitality room. Without the help of all involved, such an extensive day would not have been possible.
