Addison Trail hosts Academic Team vs. Faculty Match

On March 20, the Addison Trail Academic Team challenged faculty members to a game to prove whether they’re smarter than a teenager.

About 13 staff and nine students participated, answering questions in a variety of subject areas, including math, science, social sciences, history, fine arts, literature, miscellaneous and more.

Rules of the game:

• Students and teachers competed in teams of six.
  
  
• A tossup question was asked, and the player who buzzed in first got to answer. (There were 24 tossup questions in each match.)
  
  
• If the player responded correctly, his/her team got to answer three bonus questions.  

The event served as an end-of-season celebration for the team. Senior members were recognized, including Jacqueline Bugante, who earned All-Conference honors. During halftime of the game, students and staff enjoyed pizza and snacks together to commemorate a fun year.

In the end, the faculty members were named as the winners.
