The 7th and 8th grade SAIL students are off to a great start for Brain Busters this year. At the first meet, after several tough rounds, Dylan Song’s team placed second, and Claire Jeon’s team came in first. At the second meet, held this week, Kelly Bae’s team placed third, while Leo Nakumara's team and Quinn Hutchinson's team were tied for first heading into the semi-finals. In the end, with a match ending with a tie breaker, Quinn’s team clinched first place in the finals. Kudos HP!
At Wednesday’s debate at NVOT, the Harrington Park team continued to shine. Great job to our first-time debaters Rayna Naguada, Ava Russo, Chris Stout, Elisha Kim, and Sarah Chang. Congratulations to Sarah Hahm, Jessica Kim, Chris Stout, Josh Dank, Kelly Bae, Irene Kang, Brandon Sim, and Dylan Song who gave our team victories in each of their debates. Way to go, HP!
