Ron Heller History Contest Finals


The final round of the 4th annual Ron Heller History contest was held on Monday. Four students from the 8th grade and four from the 7th grade squared off in two separate competitions to see who knew the most about the decade of the 1960's. After months of preparation, our finalists displayed a very impressive knowledge of everything from the Cold War to Camelot to the Moon Landing to the Hippies. In the 8th grade, Ilana Karp ultimately emerged victorious in a tight competition, while in 7th grade Jordan Farbowitz's quick hand on the buzzer was too much for the other contestants.

Congratulations to our winners and to all of the participants!
