Several Wellington Landings Middle School students recently participated in the Palm Beach County Academic Games League districtwide social studies tournament and placed as follows: Cruz Alvarez took eighth place overall and Andrew DellaVecchia took second place in Current Events/Theme and fifth place in Presidents.
At the state tournament, the 38th annual Battle at the Beach, DellaVecchia placed in the following games: Linguishtik, second place; Current Events/Theme, third place and Propaganda, fourth 4th place.
Also, the performance of WLMS students DellaVecchia and Eli Grave de Peralta in the tournaments held during the school year earned them an invitation to represent Palm Beach County at the Academic Games League of America (AGLOA) national tournament in Atlanta.
The Palm Beach County Academic Games League was founded in 1973 and is the local level of the AGLOA. The league features top-performing students from elementary, middle and high schools from across Palm Beach County competing in tournament-style games.
