Andrew's School, Boca Raton, March 9, 2001
Knowledge, hard work, skill and talent
were rewarded at the twenty-second annual diocesan Academic Festival
at Saint Andrew's School in Boca Raton on March 9. Approximately
380 students from nine diocesan middle schools (Palmer Trinity,
Miami; Saint Andrew's, Boca Raton; St. John's, Homestead; St.
Joseph's, Boynton Beach; St. Mark's, Ft. Lauderdale; St. Mark's,
Palm Beach Gardens; St. Philip's, Coral Gables; St. Stephen's,
Miami; St. Thomas, Miami) competed for honors in such varied disciplines
as math, languages, science, music, current events and dramatic
speaking. There were separate competitions for upper division
(grades 7-8) and lower (grades 5-6).
The day began with a Eucharist at the Chapel of St. Andrew, with
retired diocesan Bishop Calvin O. Schofield, Jr., as celebrant,
and Canon for Education Frederick J. Masterman as preacher. An
awards ceremony in the afternoon acknowledged the achievements
of teams and individuals, with winners representing most of the
nine schools participating.
