October 31, 2008 -- Memory Hyden was the recipient of our first Memory Haden & Principal Douglas

weekly drawing for prizes in our Baker's Dozen Challenge. She received a movie theater gift certificate. We're proud of Memory- she answered all of the questions for the first three weeks of the Challenge. The Baker's Dozen is a set of higher level science and math questions that students have the option of answering on their own time. New questions are posted in the cafeteria each week, and students turn their answers in to their science and math teachers. Coyotes, turn in your answers and you might be next!
