Any time is the best time to get kids fired up about school. How about during your school year kick off, your mid-year program, your early or late spring program or perhaps during your summer school or even “after school programs”.
This is a decision best made by the individual school. Some schools conduct academic tests before school, the first 10 minutes of the day, noon time or after school. Athletic events are held at noon time and/or during student’s physical education period.
There are no make-ups and students will not be recognized at the Awards Ceremony/Assembly. Each participant must compete in five academic and five athletic activities during the specified times and dates. (NO MAKE- UPS)
There are 3 medals (gold/silver/bronze) awarded in each event to those placing 1st, 2nd and 3rd in their grade level activity (5 academic events and 5 athletic events). Boys compete against boys and girls compete against girls in the athletic events at grade level. All students participate against each other in the academics at grade level. All 2nd and 3rd place overall winners will receive runner-up string packs.
Yes. The two top students (girl and boy in each grade level) will each receive an All-American backpack and an individual plaque. The school receives a five-year perpetual plaque to display for these students to have their name, the year and the number of total points for each engraved.
Every student who completes all ten events receives an attractive certificate and a ribbon for their participation, effort and achievement.
The online academic testing is scored and time stamped upon students “submitting” each test. The athletic events are timed and scored by school staff – leadership team. Scores are imported by school staff using an Excel or a Numbers spreadsheet on the secure site.
Each of the five academic events consists of 10 questions for grades 4, 5, 6 and 20 questions for grades 7, 8. Each correct answer is worth 10/5 points respectively. Maximum score is 100 points per test. The scores for the five athletic events are determined by how well they do in that particular event. The top participant receives 100 points, the 2nd place winner receives 95 points and 3rd place winner receives 90 points, etc. The results are calculated by the All-American software and ties are broken via our multi-level tie breaker tool.
