Andy Chau, an eighth-grade student at Cubberley K-8 school, outperformed middle-school students at four other Long Beach Unified campuses to win the "Jeopardy Tournament of Champions" on July 31. Chau, who will attend the California Academy of Mathematics and Science this fall, bested Jeopardy winners from four other schools during the two-hour contest, held at Bay Shore Church. The other winners were: Jason Millett of Hill Middle School, Alex Kirk of Rogers Middle School, Coleen Villegas of Stephens Middle School and Matt Gil of Newcomb Academy.

What Andrew Nipp has accomplished in one year can take some of us a lifetime to accomplish, if ever. He took an intern job for experience with no pay, working nights at a computer sho. His first night on job as he was leaving for home, he was jumped outside the business. He took some blows to the head. Luckily his dad showed up and the man took off. Mom wanted him to quit work; but not Andrew, he hasn't missed a single night of work since he started; in fact he pressures mom to get him to work on time.
In school, Andrew's in Advance T.V. Production; he was awarded two certificates for Student of the Month and an Achievement Award. He and a fellow classmate submitted a video to a organization called "Skills USA." Their video "Technology in Education," won them first place in Regional competition which qualified them for The State Championship in San Diego. They represent Warren High School and scored second place in the State. Pretty impressive stuff!
On his first try, Andrew passed the California High School Exit Exam with high scores. The icing on the cake, he finished the school year with a report card of four A's and two B's.
Great Job Andrew! Your family is very proud of you and so grateful you're a "Good-Teen." We realize it's not easy being a teenager, Thank-you from Andrew's family.
