Trivia Tuesday: With the Middle and Elementary School National Championships coming up fast, let’s turn our trivia facts to the state of Florida!
Did you know that Everglades National Park– a UNESCO World Heritage Site – is the only place on the planet where crocodiles and alligators co-exist?
Florida is also the flattest state in the United States, the only state with a coral reef, and Olustee is the site of the only major Civil War battle fought in Florida.

While regular registration closed last week, we will have a space-available late registration option opening up soon, so keep an eye on your email boxes if you have registered for the National Championships and want to add events!

We are often asked to recommend study materials for the National Championships. While we do not offer a study guide focused on the National Championships, we recommend studying all three regional study guides for this season, as well as past questions listed on our website. All of these materials can be found on our resources page https://www.iacompetitions.com/resources/
Please note, if you are looking for materials for the exams, many of these exams are new, and there are no study materials on our site for them.
Happy studying and we will see you all at the Middle and Elementary School National Championships in Orlando!

Continuing our coverage of Asian American and Paci

Continuing our coverage of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month as well as Tony Award Nominations week, we want to honour the amazing work of @georgehtakei and his musical Allegiance.
Takei wrote his musical with the help of Marc Acito and Jay Kuo. Based on Takei’s experiences in the Japanese American Internment camps of World War II, Allegiance opened to worldwide acclaim for the rich story of the Kimura family. The story tracks their journey from their farm in Salinas, California to the camp in Heart Mountain, Wyoming in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. First performed in 2009 with Takei and Lea Salonga in leading roles, Allegiance continues to be performed in Los Angeles and London.
To read Takei’s tale, check out his book, They Called Us Enemy, on Amazon. https://a.co/d/3FVmgVB
The filmed version of the musical is also available on Amazon Prime, at https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B08Z7W88WT/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r

In honour of Asian American and Pacific Islander H

In honour of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month, as well as the announcement of the Tony Award Nominees this week, we’re shining a light on the incomparable talent of Lea Salonga.
Born in the Philippines, Lea Salonga rose to prominence in the musical theatre community with her performance in Miss Saigon. She won five different awards for the role of Kim including an Olivier award and a Tony and is the first person of Asian descent to win such an award.
She also held a prominent role in the musical Allegiance, which discusses the internment camps of World War II, and she is now a coach on the Philippine version of The Voice and spin off The Voice Kids and The Voice Teens, sharing her wisdom with the next generation of young talent.
To learn more about amazing women for AAPI Heritage month, check out the page Notable Women of Asia on Facebook, operated by former Jeopardy champion Kaberi Chakrabarty.

Fun Fact Friday is all about Canadian foods! When

Fun Fact Friday is all about Canadian foods!
When you think of Canada, you might think of maple syrup, or poutine, which is steak fries covered in gravy and cheese curds, or the love of Kraft Dinner, what Americans would call mac and cheese.
But did you know that Canada is where Hawaiian pizza was created? Hawaiian pizza, with its ham and pineapple topping, was not actually invented in Hawaii, but rather in Chatham, Ontario, Canada, in 1962 by Sam Panopoulos.
The sweet and salty combo is controversial, with most people either loving it or hating it, but no matter which way you slice it, we can thank (or blame, depending on how you feel about it) Canada for the debate!

Continuing our appreciation for Canada, let’s lo

Continuing our appreciation for Canada, let’s look at a beloved author who put Prince Edward Island on the map, Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Lucy Maud Montgomery is most famous for being the creator of “Anne,” the redheaded orphan from Anne of Green Gables. Published in 1908, the book made Prince Edward Island famous around the world. Montgomery had a consummate literary career, publishing twenty novels, more than 530 short stories, 500 poems, and thirty essays. Raised by strict grandparents, she was a lonely, isolated child, with a vivid imagination. Later, she moved to Ontario, where she struggled with her husband’s religious melancholia, and the challenges of being wife, mother, and manse mistress. She also fought lawsuits with her publisher and with her own ill health. Long after her death, Montgomery’s legacy continues with the enduring popularity of “Anne,” a character so vivid that we can all visualize her immediately. Prince Edward Island owes much of its popularity to her descriptive tales and tourists still make a pilgrimage to the areas she highlighted in her works.

With Canadian National Championships coming up fas

With Canadian National Championships coming up fast, let’s look at another awesome woman from history who hailed from there, Mary Two-Axe Earley. Earley challenged the laws discriminating against First Nations women which allowed Indigenous men to keep their official status when marrying a non-indigenous spouse, but took it away from women who did so. Mary Two-Axe Earley plunged into activism at age fifty-five, despite considerable opposition from her own community. In the end, she improved the lives of thousands of Aboriginal women and their children. Born on the Kahnawake Mohawk territory, close to Montreal, Two-Axe Earley moved to Brooklyn, married an Irish-American, and had two children. She was later widowed. Because she had lost her Indian status by marrying a non-Aboriginal, she was barred from going back to live on her reserve. For more than two decades, Two-Axe Earley lobbied to have the discriminatory law reversed. In 1985 she was successful. Her efforts benefited about sixteen thousand women and forty-six thousand first generation descendants.
