The Greenview High School Scholastic Bowl team finished with a Tomahawk Conference varsity record of 7-7 and JV 2-2. They also participated in the Sangamon County tournament virtually and the Athens Regional in-person. This year’s award winners included Claire Waibel and Lucas Schultz for Co-Most Valuable Awards, Samantha Nahlik for Junior Varsity Award, and Cameron Tomko for Bulldog Award. It was definitely a unique season competing virtually but definitely one to remember—glad we were able to have one last season with this very special group of seniors. Best of luck to them in their future pursuits!

Come join the Greenview Bulldogs for the 5th Annual Family Health Walk on this evening Tuesday, May 11 beginning at the school at 6:00 PM.
