The UIL Academics team traveled to their first invitational of the year this past Friday and Saturday. They competed at the Waller Boo-vitational at Waller High School along with over 20 other schools, predominantly 5A and 6A. All schools were grouped together with places going from 1st place to 10th place. As a holiday themed invitational, our students and one of our coaches, Mr. Mojaver, came in costume. Seniors Kandace Miller and Trevor Davis won the costume contest as Blue and Steve from Blue's Clues.
Our next competition will be Saturday, November 11th at the 2nd Annual Math and Science Navarro Invitational.
Thank you for your continued support and thank you to our coaches in attendance: Dr. Enos Inniss, Mrs. Lisa Inniss, Mr. Junior McKay, Mr. Nicholas Mojaver, Ms. LaRay Odum, Mr. Jonnathon Venable, and Mrs. Veronica Webb. The Boo-vitational Escape Room Winners were Monica Aguinaga, Mr. Junior McKay, Ms. Laray Odum, and Roberto Montalvo.
