Academic Team
Students must meet eligibility requirements to join the team. These requirements will be checked in the first few weeks of school. If your child is eligible, we will contact you via email.
What Is the Academic Team?
The academic team competes in quiz-based competitions that tests players on a wide variety of academic subjects. The game is typically played with a lockout buzzer system between two teams, usually consisting of four players each team. A moderator reads questions to the players who try to score points for their team by buzzing first and responding with the correct answer.
Why Should You Join?
Hey you……. Yes, you…… listen carefully…..did you join the Academic Team at Bruner Middle School? If not, you should. Why should you join the Academic team?
