Pilgrims students will be participating throughout the week during volleyball, basketball, a science bowl, spelling bee, knowledge bowl, a choir tournament, piano tournament, hand bells, a knowledge bowl, a chess tournament, and a theatrical production. “Winning the championship was amazing,” stated Bridger Ueeck, 8th grade basketball player. “LEST is always a fun event , even for people who aren’t participating to come watch the tournaments as well.” Pilgrim’s award winners also included Blue Ribbon Performances in Choir, Handbells, piano, individual vocal, individual instrumental, and vocal ensemble. Rounding out the Pilgrim champions are Noah Reitmeier who place 2nd place in 5th Grade chess, Quinn Schroeder who place 2nd place in 6th Grade chess, and Matthew Groh who placed 4th in 7th Grade chess.
