READ THIS FIRST!!!!!!!
This
contest runs from October through April. Answers are to be e-mailed to Mr.
Fogarty at rfogarty@waldronmercy.org and will not be accepted after midnight
on the last day of each month. Remember to submit your
first and last name
with your answers.
If you
can't send it to me by e-mail, you may hand me the e-mail copy of your answers.
Students with perfect scores each month
receive a 'small' prize. The student who has totaled the most correct answers
by the end of the year will receive a special award at the Achievement
Assembly in June.
This is an optional
contest and does not count as a grade,
but it does look good on your high school recommendation form,
provided you have
participated in each and every monthly contest.
Each contestant is expected to use the
Honor System
and not share answers with other students or receive help from anyone.
Each contestant may perform research to obtain the answers on their own. In
case of a tie at the end of the year, there will be a fill-in-the-blank test
in May, so don't throw away your questions and answers. Here is
April's quiz. Good luck and God bless!
