Envirothon!

Okay, so Greyson and I had our Envirothon competition yesterday, and I just want to tell you how that went. I guess I'll start with what envirothon is. Well, it's this thing where you're on a team of five people and there are five subjects to study(soils, wildlife, aquatics, current environmental issues, and forestry). Each person on the team takes a subject to study. So you study until the competition rolls around and then what you do for the competition is you go around to the stations and at each station take a test on one of the five subjects. So that's basically what it is and I just want to say that it is really fun, although it doesn't sound like it.
Anyway, Greyson's team and my team competed against 39 other teams. Only, the top seven teams get to go to the state competition. Greyson's team, the A team was their name, came in fourth place! My team, the five musketeers was our name, ........................ won first place! Each member on my team got a medal and the whole team got a plaque, which I get to keep because of my high score for our team. So anyway just wanted to update you on that. I'll see if I can get a picture of my plaque and medal up sometime this week.
