The winning “A Mile Up the Creek Without a Paddle” team from Mile Creek School

Four teachers from Mile Creek School strutted their stuff last night in the 3rd Annual Trivia Bee Challenge to beat the other 22 teams competing in the contest and be crowned champions. In a battle to the finish, the teachers of Mile Creek ended up pitted against a team made up current and former teachers of Lyme-Old Lyme Middle School in the championship round.

One of the three ‘Swarms’ that entered the 2014 Trivia Bee work on their answers to questions posed by Master of Ceremonies and New Channel 3 News Bureau Director Kevin Hogan.

In one question after another, both teams consistently gave the correct answer until finally ‘Bee Keeper’ Mike Kane declared it was time for a tie-breaker and Master of Ceremonies Kevin Hogan posed the final question.

The Mile Creek teachers came through in the clutch moment and were declared the victors.

All District 18 parents can now sleep easy in their beds knowing that their children’s teachers are the brightest folk in Lyme and Old Lyme!
