At the beginning of December, the Kraemer Middle School Science Olympiad team traveled to Sacramento for their first invitational of the year. There, the Cubs squared off against some of the top teams from up and down the state. Following a well-fought battle, the Kraemer team returned home to Placentia with the first place trophy!
