Eight students went to the Gregory Portland Invitational Academic Meet on Jan 18-19. They competed in math and science competitions. Competing against eleven other small schools, StJPII placed third in science team small school division and fifth in math team small school division. Additionally, Max Kimmel placed 3rd in 11th grade science, Sophia Talbott placed 5th in 9th grade science, Sarah Lee Sang placed 4th in 11th grade Number Sense and Michael Lee Sang placed 5th in 10th grade Number Sense. It was the first academic competition for most of the students that went, and everyone did fantastic. We will be going to the Flour Bluff academic meet on February 16 for anyone interested in attending.
