Each week William Tell Elementary celebrates "Trivia Tuesday" with Mrs. Noble asking a trivia question on morning announcements. Classrooms then try to be the first to call the office with the correct response. The winning class gets to keep the Trivia Trophy for the week. This morning the students were asked, "What insect can essentially 'tell' the temperature by the rate at which it chirps?" Mr. DuPont's kindergarten classroom was the first class to call in with "cricket." This is quite impressive since the question was open to all K-6 classrooms. Mr. DuPont shared, "This is like getting an Academy Award! The students were soooo thrilled that we finally won!" Congratulations Mr. DuPont's class!
