ANNOUNCEMENT:
To all students, coaches, alumni and friends of Reach For The Top/Schoolreach:
These past few weeks have been difficult and confusing for all Canadians.
The closure of all schools, international border restrictions & closures, travel limitations and ever more stringent social distancing measures have understandably created challenges and uncertainty. But these are necessary and ongoing steps to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
In cooperation with these measures, it is evident to us that the Reach Ontario Provincial Finals and National Finals for the 2019/20 season cannot take place in May as scheduled and are therefore cancelled.
By continuing necessary social distancing together, we all have a role to play in confronting this global pandemic. Check our Facebook page for updates and Trivia challenges to play at home. We hope for a brighter and pandemic-free 2020-21 season of Schoolreach/Reach For The Top.
Sincerely,
Frank Russell, National Co-ordinator
Daniel Hill, National Director
Paul G. Russell, Executive Director
Schoolreach is a co-curricular subscription program for high school students. Reach teams represent their schools in a fast-paced trivia challenge testing both their knowledge and speed of recall.
“Reach for the Top” began life as a television quiz game for high school students, modeled on the British television series “Top of the Form“, and was first played on the local CBC outlet in Vancouver in 1961.
A charitable foundation created in 2014 to recognize and assist outstanding Reach students and alumni, including scholarship awards that are presented during the National Finals of Reach For The Top.
Learn more about some of the Alumni Events we have planned for the future, and register as an alumni of the game.
