ThinkQuest Competition
media type="custom" key="5399629" I have been involved with the ThinkQuest Website Competition for five years and we have had three winning teams, two from West Blocton Elementary School and last year from Woodstock Elementary School. "CSI: The Case of the Mysterious Macros" received an Honorable Mention in 2007. "Color Our World with Kindness" tied for 2nd place in the 2008 competition. The website, "Color Our World with Kindess", was the result of a project called "Kindness is Contagious" which now has over 300 members. The goal of the website was to spread the message of kindness and that goal has certainly been realized! This year the team was coached by Mrs. Kristin Lightsey. She, along with Assistant Coach Daniel Barbosa worked with team members Anmol (India), Danielle (Brazil), Igor (Brazil), Tori (WES), Chase (WES), and Drew (WES). On May 29th, when the 2009 ThinkQuest winners were announced, we were excited to learn that the [|"Let's Rock and Roll]" team won 1st place in the first ever Narrative Competition.
 * "The best thing (about ThinkQuest) is meeting friends with whom you have talked for months on Internet with forums and chatrooms and emails. Further, getting exposure is the best thing! Above all its all about fun and collaboration of different cultures and regions!** ** Life is great and this greatness I am realizing as now WE are the winners of the TQ NARRATIVE COMPETITION, we got first place in the category of 15 and under and that is just too coooooooooooooool! **
 * This is a magic moment!** **" ~Anmol, age 15, India**

It is very exciting to see students develop and grow as leaders through all of the ThinkQuest programs. It is my desire that students leave our school prepared to direct their own learning. I believe that learning in the ThinkQuest environment helps to make that happen! ~Mrs. Annette Harris
