Congratulations to Abby James from Guyton Elementary who won the 2023 Effingham County Quick-Think-a-Thon! Sponsored by the Exchange Club, this annual tournament is based on the Quick Think game, which helps children make good, quick decisions about personal safety.
Each elementary school chose class champions to represent all of their second graders in the tournament. Those contestants answer questions about how to respond to situations involving child abuse, abductions, peer pressure around alcohol, drugs and weapons, fire, and medical emergencies, approaches by strangers and latch key issues.
Congratulations to our runners-up for the competition: Gadsden Callais, Springfield Elementary (first runner-up); Charli Long, Marlow Elementary (second runner-up); and Devin Bethune, South Effingham Elementary (third runner-up). We’re proud of all of the competitors from our schools.
