Battle Creek Middle School competes in the Fond du Lac Ojibwe/Dakota Quiz Bowl May 2-3.
On May 2-3 six Ojibwe/Dakota students from BCMS competed in the quiz bowl at the Fondu du Lac quiz bowl. Our students did quite well for their first time. They placed 6th in our division.
American Indian Magnet school and Harding High school also came with us. Harding placed 5th and AIMS placed 7th. The quiz bowl was long and rigorous. Our teams worked very hard. All of our final scores were very close and nerve racking. Some games ended up in overtime. We are so proud of our teams! We were told by the organizers that this Quiz bowl is the regional championship. We played against the best teams of Minnesota!
