Dear Families,
Great news, Charlemagne will be going to the state OBOB competition on April 6th at Chemeketa Community College in Salem! Regionals just finished up Saturday afternoon and the competition was stiff. The fifth grade Book Scavengers (Nara, Nina, Sabine, Ellie and Ishika) finished in second after a close battle against Buena Vista Spanish Immersion in the finals, 75 to 70.
The Charlemagne chess team came in second in the state team competition on Friday, March 8th. It was comprised of Yufei Su, Brandon Young, Sam Farley, Jeremy Wang, Nina Vivek, and Hauke Kiley. They had a strong showing and was seeded second out of forty teams. Way to go, chess team!Upcoming Events:
