Brock Caribou Contest

Today is the last day in the Brock Caribou Contest.  Our class has competed in the contest over the last year with some interesting outcomes.  We are hoping that today will be our best results to date, as we are utilizing everything we have learned in comparison to the contest.  Good Luck to the 7-3 participants and thank you for putting forth such a good effort.  Also, thank you to Mr. Restoule-General for his support and active participation in the Brock Caribou.
