Math Teams Shine at Muscle Shoals

Parent meeting - Monday, January 24 at 6:30 pm in the library

Wow!  Saturday at Muscle Shoals was our best day in overall standings.  The 8th grade team scored 72, yes 72 ciphering points.  Quite a different kind of ciphering for the 7th grade and you still placed first.  Six 8th graders and 3 7th graders placed in the top ten.  Will Raney and Ben Huser took both 1st place awards.  Congratulations!  Many improved their scores from previous tournaments.  ALL of you did a great job today.  The 8th grade had 12 in the top 20.  I was concerned about being out last week because of the snow, but you all came through with flying colors.  So bright some of you had to wear shades.  Thanks for all the hard work this week and for doing so well on your TTK test.  We appreciate all the support from our parents.  I can't say enough about what it means to have you all there for the ciphering and awards.  The goody bags were extremely nice.  The notebooks with the math quotes, pins and pencils were just terrific.  Parents, thanks for being so good to our teams.
