Congratulations, Math Club: Congratulations to our Math Club on reaching Gold Level Status in the National Math Club! Their Gold Level Project, a student-led math-based service project, was very creative and well done, satisfying all requirements. This is an extremely commendable accomplishment! Students in 5th-8th Grade traveled through nine different stations in their Spirit Groups on Math Day, where they enjoyed creative, engaging, and educational math activities. Math Club members created and implemented math-based service projects for students in 3K-4th Grade, as well. Math Club scholars received certificates to recognize their achievement. We are so proud of these students! A huge thank you to Mrs. Kathy Mullen for coordinating and leading our Math Club.
