Edward. R Murrow took part in an MSG Varsity production of The Challenge on October 28^th.

            Students Michelle Dopiro, Avery Whitted, Marissa Shadburn and Denia Plasenca represented Murrow in The Challenge.

            “Mr. Mills asked my class who wanted to be on television and immediately us four shot up,” said Captain Shadburn.

            The Challenge is a Jeopardy type of game show in which students from randomly chosen schools compete against each other by answering questions on various topics such as fractions, architecture and literature.

            “I had so much fun being on a team with such great people,” said Whitted. “Even though we lost by 35 points, we tried our hardest.”

            Students from Murrow competed against students from The Yeshiva of Flatbush.

            “They have been prepping since the summer,” said Plasenca. “We would play online Jeopardy at Marissa’s house every weekend, so I had a feeling we were going to lose but we gave it our all.”

            Each member of the team enjoyed their time working together and grew on each other as a family.

            “We put up a good fight,” said Dopiro. “I love my team with all my heart.”
