The District Finals were hosted at our Wyckoff church campus, so it was a nice short drive for us but most of the teams travel a couple of hours to come for the day of quizzing.
Sarah's team member and coach were changed up for District Finals. James who was on Sarah's team all last year and this year has been the constant. We love James and his family, the Pettibones. He is a 4th grader who knows his 10 point questions and is just a great kid all around.

Luciana and Ono were great additions, they all worked together really well. Coach Peter encouraged their team throughout the day constantly giving them pep talks and direction on how to handle questions. You can tell by his enthusiasm and encouragement that he has a heart for these kids and JBQ.
It was a roller coaster day of emotions. District Finals brings all the best teams together, so you have to know your questions and answers, as well as be fast on the buzzer.
At the end of the afternoon they have an awards dinner. Sarah and her team were a part of the Achiever level who learns half of the questions in the book. Sarah placed 17th individually and her team placed 14th. Two of our Master level teams, who learn all the questions in the book, finished 1st and 3rd place. We are so proud of all our kids and how they are learning the Word of God and having fun while doing it.
