Elementary teams advance in Governor’s Cup

The annual District Elementary Governor’s Cup competition was held on Saturday, March 2, at Girdler and Lay Elementary.

Some of the county’s top academic students competed in one of five written assessment areas (mathematics, science, social studies, language arts, and arts/humanities), composition (on-demand writing), or in Quick Recall or Future Problem Solving which are team events.

The county is split into two Governor’s Cup districts, with G.R. Hampton, Lynn Camp, Girdler, St. Camillus, and Barbourville competing in District 103 and Central, Dewitt, Flat Lick, and Lay competing in District 104.
