The 39th annual JRT Olympiad was held March 29-31, and was definitely one for the books.

This is mainly because many new events were added. Corn Hole, Cone Ball, and Archery were

added to the opening day of Olympics. Another country, Jamaica was also added. This

addition gave a chance for more people to become involved in the various events. Academic

bowl winner went to Ireland. Jamaica was the winner of the gold medal for Reading Olympics.

Aleah Ajohda, from team Australia, was the individual winner of the Reading award. Opening

day event winners are as follows: 3 on 3 Basketball: Australia; Soccer: Kenya; Archery: Costa

Rica; Cone Ball: Norway; Corn Hole: Australia. The tug-of-war gold medal went to Costa Rica.

Australia was the winner of the basketball relays. Norway is the 2019 Champion, followed

closely by Australia. Third place went to Costa Rica, and Brazil came in fourth.

JRT had the most beautiful

princesses ever at our 1st

annual Princess Night Out! It

was an amazing experience for

our staff to be able to have fun

with girls from our community.

We are so thankful for the

parents that allowed us to

spend time with these girls!

We are so proud of our J. R. Trippe

Advanced Chorus. They received

the highest ratings awarded in

performance and sight reading.

Thank you to Mr. Morgan for all of

his hard work and dedication. He

believes in the talents of our

students and he works hard to

help them reach their potential.
