The Latest about Nordonia's FPS Teams

Did you know that Nordonia Hills has participated in The Future Problem Solving Program for more than 20 years?  This year, we had 7 junior teams and 3 intermediate teams preparing to compete - the most ever! 

 

In 2005, the State Bowl was held April 22 and 23 at West Branch Schools in Beloit, Ohio.  Here’s a re-cap from team coach, Laura Collins:

 

Our kids did a great job.  One team advanced to the second round of skit presentations, and although no teams placed in the top five, their work was commendable. Alexis Byers, 6th grade, had competed in the scenario writing division earlier in the year and knew she was in the top five in  the state, but didn't know what place. She placed third in the state for her story about an ocean fisherman. She also came in fifth in the state for her individual packet which she completed while the teams were working on theirs. Individual packets are reserved for team alternates and top scenario writers. They do a whole packet by themselves, but their challenges and solutions are reduced from 16 each to 10 each. Still a daunting task.  Several teams are already planning for next year! Thanks for your help and support this year!
