National School Scrabble Tournament



Floyd T. Binns Middle School would like to congratulate the Blackhawks Scrabble Team on a job well done at nationals. There was a lot of tough competition and more than one hundred teams participating. President Barack Obama and Shaquille O'Neal gave prizes to the competition and there were lots of scrabble winners. Our school placed 34th in the nation overall. Congratulations goes out to: Michael Bayne and Preston Shaw with a high score of 305, and Courney Dalimonte and Jordan Smith with a high score of 294.
