The Lakeview Coolcumber Club won first place at the statewide Destination Imagination Tournament held in Wenatchee on April 2.

They first competed on the regional level and then qualified for state. Lakeview Elementary’s club worked together to create a structure made only of wood, aluminum foil and glue and weighing less than 25 grams that would hold as much weight as possible. In addition, they created an eight-minute  performance about a character who was foiled and were required to integrate a team-written verse and a published verse into their story.

The Lakeview Coolcumber Club’s structure weighed in at 20 grams and held 625 lbs and still didn’t break! They now qualify for the global competition to be held in Knoxville, Tennesee during Memorial Day weekend.
