Ransom Middle Student Named National Quiz Bowl Player Of The Week
March 2, 2017
National Academic Quiz Tournaments has named Maggie Brown from Ransom Middle School as its Middle School Player of the Week for her performance at the February 18 Bulldog Invitational Tournament..
Maggie led the individual scoring in the middle school division of the Bulldog Invitational at Marianna High School, and also led the Ransom Middle School team to a close second-place finish. Her 78 points per 20 tossups heard in the preliminary rounds are all the more impressive considering the middle school division was playing on high school questions.
Brown was one of the founding members of the Ransom Academic Team. Two years ago, Tate High School, including Brown’s older sisters Lauren and Samantha Brown, helped set up the Ransom team.
When asked about her success – she has been a captain and leading scorer since sixth grade – Maggie is quick to credit her teachers at Ransom Middle and at Pine Meadow Elementary for her well-rounded education. Not only has she been able to answer tournament questions from class lessons, but also from information learned through her involvement in extracurricular activities, including Ransom’s Advanced Orchestra – where she is first chair violin/concertmaster, president of the History Club, secretary/treasurer of the Cooking Club, Art Club, and robotics.
Maggie said she just really loves to play and practices with Samantha and Lauren, reviewing and quizzing each other on lessons from all of their classes.
The Ransom team is busy preparing to travel to nationals in May in Texas this May.

‘Golden Cow Dung Award’ Presented To EWMS Assistant Principal
February 24, 2017
Ernest Ward Middle School Assistant Principal Virkeisha Palmer received the eighth annual “Golden Cow Dung Award” from members of the Ernest Ward FFA. The award presented Thursday afternoon featured a large piece of cow dung, painted a golden color and mounted on a board painted in school colors.
(Cow dung, in case you did not know, is what you are probably thinking it is. It’s that natural byproduct that cows drop in the field. The award is 100 percent real dung spray painted a golden color. The golden piece presented Thursday is actually the first award piece created and painted eight years ago.)
Palmer received the award from the school’s FFA members as a “thank you” for supporting FFA. The same Golden Cow Dung Award was presented last year to teacher Laura Chavers. Previous awards were presented to Barbara Ryals, Betty Coon, history teacher Kenneth Hicks, teacher’s assistant Lindsey Kelley, Family & Consumer Science teacher Kathy Ellis and Principal Nancy Perry.
More than half a million members around the nation participated in National FFA Week activities at the local and state levels this week.
