That's today's Appalachian Wireless. In February, schools from across the state will compete in the Kentucky Association for Academic Competition Governors Cup. Today, 11 elementary schools in Pike County participated in a mock competition to gear up for the District and Regional Governors Cup competition. It teaches them that, you know, they can compete at a level in academics. And, you know, it's also something fun for them. Not all kids are, you know, athletically involved, but it gives them another means that they can be involved at a different level in the school. Pike County students have hosted the scrimmage match for the past several years, alternating between Mullins Elementary School and Pikeville Elementary School. This year, the event was hosted by Mullins. Students at today's event competed in five subject areas and three quick recall matches. We appreciate the coaches and all the time that they give, and we appreciate Mullins School for hosting such a large event so that our students can get the practice that they need. Organizers encourage students to be more involved in extracurricular activities, no matter what the activity may be. However, organizers add the academic team is a great place for students to start. To be involved in anything extracurricular outside of the school is important. You know, social skills, competition skills, sportsmanship, as well as the extra practice that they get for studying for the academic part of the test. Students who participated in today's event said they had a great time, especially since their team did so well. Super Saturday is just something that we're supposed to have them do, even though we are a little competitive because we're a little familiar with the resources. The Governor's Cup District Competition will be held on February 11th, and the regional competition will take place on March 4th. Reporting at Buckleys Creek for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.
