Guess Who's Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

Everyone has probably watched or heard about the popular TV game show, "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" and wondered how they would fare if put under the bright lights. Mrs. Keith and Mrs. Hatch, librarians from Twinsburg Public Library, hosted "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" at Dodge Intermediate School on March 20th.

The adult contestants were Twinsburg Police Chief Noga; Ms. Scott, principal of Chamberlin Middle School; Mrs. Luette, Visual Arts Teacher at Dodge Intermediate, and Mr. Lenzo, Assistant Superintendent of Twinsburg City Schools. Each contestant had to answer 10 out of 12 questions correctly in the subjects of Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. If they did not, they had to tell the entire auditorium that they were indeed, "Not Smarter than a 5th Grader".

Perhaps not so surprisingly they all did fairly well, but the only contestant smarter than a 5th grader was Police Chief Noga!

Here are the contestants report cards:
Police Chief Noga: English, A+; Math, A+; Science, A+; Social Studies, A+
Ms. Scott: English, A+; Math, A; Science, B; Social Studies, A
Ms. Luette: English, A; Math, B; Science, A+; Social Studies, A
Mr. Lenzo: English, A+; Math, A+; Science B; Social Studies, A+

Congratulations! And thank you to all the participants.
