Thursday, July 26, is the date of the final Olympics competition. The teachers met to finalize the rules. Group leaders are actively trying their best to motivate their groups.
The third round of the competition was exciting in that the standing of Groups B, C, and D changed from round to round. At the conclusion, the Amazing A’s held onto first place. But, the point spread between the A’s and Dynasty was only 50 points.

Erik Gonzalez, Zakir Sheikh and Adam Campos of Group A scored the highest amount of points (275) during the orienteering expedition in Van Cortlandt Park.
Alberto Ramirez, Amarilis Baez, and Esmeralda Cabrera of Group B came in second with 239 points. These are the students to go on a hike with.
What should students do to alleviate stress during finals and Regents exams? Get a pet! Studies show that "just putting a dog in a room when a child was having a physical exam lowered the child’s heart beat, blood pressure and distress."
