We are so proud of every student who represented our schools at the Regional Elementary/Middle (Including 9th Grade) Math Field Day. Students from all of our schools came together to take on a challenging and highly competitive event that showcased their problem-solving skills, perseverance, and passion for math. 🧠📐
The competition was fierce, with many students separated by just a single point in the final standings—proof of the incredible depth of talent across our region. Every participant should be applauded for the effort, focus, and determination they brought to the day.
A special acknowledgment goes to Eli, Joseph, and Noah, who were selected as alternates for the Statewide Competition!
👏 Congratulations to every student, coach, teacher and school involved! 👏
