The Mena 6th grade Quiz Bowl team participated in the Ashdown Invitational Quiz Bowl on November 19. There were 11 teams . Our team's efforts paid off when they were seeded second after lunch and received a bye. They beat Dierks in the quarter finals, Spring Hill in the semi finals, and played Genoa in the finals. Genoa did win the final game, so Mena took second. Pictured are Lynnlee Cook, Valley Reppo, Tripp Hensley, Jackson Thompson, Dax McMellon, Eli Swall, Denton Warner, Elliott Dugan, Kate Wilson, and Brandon Dong. We are proud of all of our Quiz Bowl Participants.

From Nurse Sherry: Those students who need immunizations for school got letters three weeks ago to take home to parents. You must have these immunizations to remain in school. If you have gotten your shots in the last couple of weeks, run by the nurse's office and let her know. This is a state law and you must have your required shots so remind your parents or guardian to make your appointment if you want to remain in school. I will also add that if you do not get your shots, you are not allowed to participate in athletics until you get your immunizations.
