General Info

Hello and good morning! I am proud to have you at the 2nd Jackson Prep Christmas tournament. This tournament is open to all IQ teams elementary and middle levels. This will be held in one of our auditoriums at the front of the campus.  Parking is in the front parking lot and enter through the Upper School (High School).  For food, there are plenty of resturaunts close by, so plan on sending a parent for food or have it delivered on site.  Concessions may or may not happen at this time, but I will announce it the closer we get.   We will have team tables, but charging will be in certain spots along the halls, so you may want to bring a power strip and a container to put them in so you know what is yours. Also make sure that you make all efforts to PAY through the robotevents system.

BIG BREAKING NEWS!!!!! -----> Will have a themed event!  2 prize pools will be given out to the winners of the following

1) Best Christmas dressed team

Come and join us for this fun event! For those of you who were here last year, I promise we will have the air checked and double checked before the event!
