Eighth grade students recognized as "Fan.School Champions"

March 1, 2023

Students in Mr. Bittenbender's eighth grade social studies class participated in a 17-week current event competition.  The game allowed students to budget with a fixed "income" and engage in global news utilizing a variety of sources.  The top 8 students from each of Mr. Bittenbender's periods moved to playoffs in head-to-head matchups.  One champion was crowned per period.  Each champion was awarded a t-shirt for their dedication to understanding global news and analyzing trends.  Manor's Sarah Polito was also awarded a shirt as she competed nationally against students across the country by correctly predicting the outcome of the mid-term elections.   Sarah was ranked in the top 70 out of the thousands of students who participated in the challenge.  Congratulations to all of Manor's champions.
