History Bowl

About three months ago, BFA was contacted by creators of the International History Bowl: Europe Edition about participating in a competition with other English-speaking schools. It sounded like fun, so we have been pursuing the idea, communicating with the IHB people about what that would look like, and even offering a fun History elective class at the Middle School which has been a blast!

Yesterday and today, we had tryouts to formulate a team to go represent the BFA Middle School. So exciting! 12 showed up for their chance at the team, and the 6 winners will be announced tomorrow; then study will begin in earnest. Mid-March, Brittany and I get to travel with them to Paris for our regional competition, and if we do well, we get to go to Rome in May for the Europe-wide tournament.

Feel free to pray. I really have no idea what we're getting in to, but mainly I want the students to have fun, to learn some history, to work together as a unified team, and to somehow through it all grow more in love with Jesus Christ.
