Congratulations ILab Competition Winner

Michael Fazio is our iLAB 3D Design and Print Competition winner! His winning design, the “Fazwedge,” clicks in place on the door and keeps it from locking shut without the need for a traditional doorstop on the floor. We’ll be able to see them at work around the school as teachers get their own Fazwedge for their classrooms.

Success for The Talking Royals

The Talking Royals had another successful tournament, at Copley. The team was led by Katie Siff, who took 6th place in United States Extemporaneous Speaking, and Jude Armstrong, who went undefeated in a Lincoln-Douglas debate and, after a complex set of tiebreakers, took 6th place out of 74 competitors.
