The Lone Star Challenge is the elementary school equivalent of the Texas Academic Decathalon. It is designed to enhance elementary students in their mastery of the state testing program and to encourage, recognize and reward academic teams and individual students through regional academic competition on an annual topic. Click here to see last year's Lone Star team in action.
Nine students will be selected for Purefoy's Lone Star Challenge Team. Team members will receive a binder of materials to study at home and meet for practice after school (2:50-3:30 p.m.) in the library on Wednesdays twice a month.
To join the team:
- Complete the application packet and essay. Return materials to the library by 3:00 p.m. on November 26th.
- Download the study guide (page 1-16 only) and start preparing. There will be an application test on November 28th at in the library if more than nine students apply for the team.
Printed copies of the application and study guide are also available in the library.
