Trivia Tuesday: In honor of Registration for the I

Trivia Tuesday: In honor of Registration for the International Environmental Science Olympiad closing soon, here is a cool fact about Puerto Rico…did you know that in 2003, only 80 Puerto Rican Crested Toads could be found in the wild? Thanks to conservation efforts, as of 2021 over 3,000 can now be found in the wild! While still a threatened species, there is recovery to be seen

If you look closely, you can see IAC Executive Dir

If you look closely, you can see IAC Executive Director David Madden (on hand for planning) in the back right yesterday with approximately 40% of the Ecole Jeannine Manuel History Bee and Bowl team. They have about 120 members this year, which we presume is the largest team anywhere in the world. And they’re ready to welcome the world to their school in the heart of Paris for the 2025 International History Olympiad next summer! Registration is projected to open next Wednesday. Allez les élèves d’histoire!

Adoption week hits close to home for our Director

Adoption week hits close to home for our Director of Operations, Deborah Pettingill. Eighteen years ago she and her husband decided to become foster parents and that was when Edward came into their lives. Six months later he became a permanent part of the family! He joined them camping and doing historical reenactment and they learned the ways of a soccer family. They had a variety of pets (dogs, cats, gerbils, turtles) and volunteered for an animal rescue first by helping at the shelter and then fostering kittens and puppies as Edward got older. The neighborhood boys got to witness kittens being born and learned how to bottle feed them too. Deborah and Edward love to travel together and have visited most states between Florida and Vermont as well as Japan and Italy. They are looking forward to traveling to Puerto Rico for the first time for Christmas and then the International Environmental Science Olympiad!

To go along with our Adoption Day theme this week,

To go along with our Adoption Day theme this week, we want to shine a light on a woman who as a teen was on the path to becoming the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) gymnast thanks to the support of her adoptive parents.
Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history with 11 Olympic Medals and 30 World Championship medals, was adopted by her grandfather as a child when her mother was unable to care for her. A daycare field trip to a gymnastics program at the age of six got her started on the path to greatness, eventually leading to having five gymnastics skills named after her; two on the vault, one on the balance beam, and two more on the floor exercises.
Biles is also well known for her stance on the importance of mental health, being listed as one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people of all time in 2021 for her focus on mental health care.

This week, we want to highlight that November 23,

This week, we want to highlight that November 23, 2024 is National Adoption Day. Some amazing people in history were adopted, and we want to shine a spotlight on some who took their past experiences and channeled it into helping others.
Eleanor Roosevelt, usually known as the very vocal First Lady to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was adopted by her grandmother after the death of her parents. While this was common in that era, she used her knowledge of what it was like to be orphaned and later adopted to help World War II refugees, She later served on the United Nations Commission on Human Rights as a founding member, where she continued her advocacy work.

This week, we’re highlighting facts from our study guides. Pulled from our White Set for science, did you know that the blue whale is an aquatic mammal that is the largest animal to have ever existed on Earth? With only one natural predator in the world, the orca, blue whales grow as long as 98 feet and nearly 200 tons in weight! Even cooler, their hearts are the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, and their calls are louder than a jet engine at 188 decibels. #sciencebee #triviatuesday
