Maybe You Can Hire: The A-Team

His team, and his coach, Mr. B. 
Luke even got a shirt with his name on the back, so who is the real winner?

A few months ago Luke was chosen to be on our school's first ever Academic Team.  Other schools in our county have had A-teams forever, but for some reason up until this point, South McKeel hasn't had one.  Heck, I myself was on the A-team (back then it was the E-team, e for economics) at Highland City Elementary when dinosaurs roamed the earth, so I am glad our school is finally a part of this!  Unfortunately, his team did not place in the top two at their first meet on Tuesday, so they were eliminated.  Overall it was kind of a terrifying experience for Luke; to compete in a big setting with 5 other schools in front of parents and teachers and judges, with live buzzers and points getting deducted for wrong answers, but I'm so glad he got to do this and work on confidence.  He was the only team member selected to play all three rounds of the tournament, so he technically got the most bang for his buck!  As we drove to the host school and checked in, all he could say is "This is just like Spiderman Homecoming...."  Heck yeah, Luke!  And you are my hero :)
