10-17-2009 First Quiz Meet

The boys are participating in Bible Quizzing this year. We are doing it through Overland Park Church, and I am one of the coaches. It is a great way for the kids to learn God's Word. This year, they are studying the Book of Joshua. We got a late start on Quizzing, and actually didn't have our first practice until October 7. The first quiz meet was October 17, and it was over 7 chapters. Yes, you read that right...they had 10 days to learn 7 chapters! All 8 of our kids did an incredible job, especially such little time to prepare. Zachary quizzed in the red level (1-3 grades) and got a green ribbon for his score. They had 3 rounds of 15 questions each. Joshua quizzed in the blue level (4-6 grades) and had 3 rounds of 20 (more difficult) questions each. Joshua missed 1 question total. So, he got a blue ribbon for his score, a red ribbon for having 2 perfect rounds, and a silver medal for 2nd place overall. They are anxiously looking forward to their next meet which is November 21.
