Haley is the first girl in seventeen years to win gold in Science. Go girl!
It was a banner year for La Mariposa and the Camarillo Academic Olympics. For the first time ever, our Superquiz team, The Tiger Tribe, won the Superquiz. La Mariposa also snagged 14 individual medals, the most of all the elementary schools. This medal count includes winning gold in five of the ten individual categories. Looks like our tigers jumped into their smarty pants with both feet for this one!
Alex is the first student in CAO history to win gold in both creative writing and art.
The Camarillo Academic Olympics culminated with the Superquiz Finals and Awards Ceremony held at Monte Vista last Friday night. Students marched in and received their medals on the podium in front of a cheering crowd of parents and Camarillo VIPs. A huge Tiger congratulations goes out to:
