"A Reading Competition"

Honeoye Wins Spring Competition 2009!!!

Finishes 2nd Overall!

4/28/09 - Congratulations to the Honeoye Page Turners team of 12 sixth graders who traveled to Geneseo and won the Spring competition in fine fashion! The final tallies were Honeoye 25, Avon 23, Livonia 23, Geneseo 18, York 16, and Cal-Mum 13.

Overall Honeoye just fell short by a score of Avon 42, Honeoye 40, Livonia 40. The final total score is a combination of the Winter Competition and the Spring Competition. What makes this so outstanding for Honeoye is that we fielded the youngest team in the competition. The other schools all fielded teams made up of 6th, 7th and 8th graders.

A tremendous well done to all of our competitors!
