MAYOR ARMSTEAD REWARDED THE SOEHL MIDDLE SCHOOL MAYOR’S CUP CHALLENGE WINNERS WITH A SPECIAL BREAKFAST

This past year marked Soehl Middle School’s 6th annual Mayor’s Cup Challenge. Each year, Soehl invites its students, who are looking to go above and beyond their already rigorous workload, to take part in one or all three of the annual Academic Team Competitions. To spice up the competitions even further, Soehl has partnered with the Mayor of Linden to give the winning teams of the first two competitions a rare opportunity – to have a champions match up in front of their mayor. Last November’s tournament was won by 8th graders Katelynn Mejia, Gana Mukhtar, Gannat Mukhtar, and Julissa Vyajkora. January’s competition was won by 7th graders Iyana Jones, Ethan Martinez, Roberto Meadows, Cassie Orcutt, and Alexander Roque. In the twenty question, Mayor’s Cup Challenge, it was the group of 8th graders who pulled off a victory and were handed the school’s top trophy by Mayor Derek Armstead. Right after that competition was completed, the Mayor shared with the students that he enjoyed the experience so much that he wanted to invite them to an end-of-the-school year breakfast to hear all about how the rest of their school year went after their victories in the academic competitions.
