On Saturday, December 1st, the Mu Alpha Theta Honor Society hosted the School-wide MathCounts for our middle schoolers. This was a very fun and engaging event where some of our smartest middle school students went face to face in a mathematical match-up.
The top four placements are Omer D. (7th grade), Aaditya N. (7th grade), Jaithra N. (7th grade), and Michelle L. (7th grade).
Congratulations to all of our winners and participants!

Attention parents, all 6th, 7th and 8th graders will be participating in the National History Bee Qualifying exam in January. This exam is a preliminary step in qualifying for the National History Bee. We are asking all students to participate whether they plan to attend the regional competition or not. This is a great opportunity for students to test their history skills and who knows students may know more than they think!
After the qualifying exam, students will be notified whether they qualified or not for regionals. Those students will then be given the option to attend the regional competition in the Spring.
Good luck students!
