Bullfrogs Bring Home Six Medals to the Pond
Leading the Bret Harte Bullforgs at this years California State Academic Decathalon competition was senior Owen Gayle who won a gold medal with his speech about his cat Leon.
"Owen has a natural ability to imbed passion into his speeches," stated Bret Harte coach Jennifer Truman. "I just had a gut feeling when he proposed his speech this past fall about his beloved cat that it would be a winner. After all the hours perfecting his speech, it paid off."
Gayle also won the gold medal at the Regional competition in early February with the speech, earning the highest score of the competition. Gayle scored 950 points out of a possible 1000 points for his speech, which was the highest score amongst all other competitors in his division. Gayle competed in the Scholastic Division.
Joining Gayle in bringing home medals were:
Senior Jade McBride with two medals: Silver in Literature and Silver in Interview, varsity division
Junior Stella Stammerjohan: Silver in Economics varsity division
Senior Aurora Lewis: Highest Team Score (she had the highest overall score of all Bret Harte competitors) (Honors Division)
The Bullfrogs were also represented by:
Rebecca Hungerford (Honors Division)
Cheyanne Stephens (Honors Division)
Amelia Baxter (Scholastic Division)
Ella Becker (Scholastic Division)
Delaney Owens (Varsity Division)
Students compete in 10 theme based subject areas. This year's theme was Humans and Technology.
On the 13th of April, from 5:00pm - 8:00pm, there will be a Senior Fundraising Dinner at the Ranch House in Angels Camp at the Fairgrounds. The tickets will be $40 per person, and there will be a raffle, live music, and a live auction, so plan on bringing some extra cash to possibly win some of our lovely gift baskets donated by the local businesses! There will be a steak dinner as well as a beverage bar as well. This event is planned, operated, and student led by the Bret Harte Leadership Seniors and is a great way to reward them for their hard work planning this event. All the proceeds resulting from ticket sales, auction, and the raffle will go back to the seniors to raise funds for them to get Scholarships to exceptional colleges, universities, and trade schools so they can work towards their goals of becoming successful professionals. TIckets can be obtained by contacting a leadership student or message @thepondnation on Facebook or Instagram.
