Finale at Berry Middle School

Join us at Berry Middle School on Saturday, April 13 for our last tournament of the year.  What a fantastic year it has been!  I am looking forward to celebrating the year with students, parents and siblings at Stone Bridge on Tuesday, April 30 at 6:30 pm.  You may want to start arriving around 6 pm to enjoy the atmosphere and conversation with friends as well as take some pictures.  Can't wait to celebrate all the accomplishments of the year for 7th and 8th and to say goodbye to a truly AMAZING group of 8th graders.  What a privilege to be your teacher!

ALA-LA-MISS Results

Three 8th grade math teamers (Ann Carol, Ben and Brooke) made the top 5 in the North Alabama Region (Cullman, Calhoun, Madison, Lauderdale, St. Clair, Jackson and Colbert Counties) on the ALA-LA-MISS test taken in February.  Outstanding!  The 8th grade team placed 2nd regionally by a narrow 3 point margin and 5th in the tri-state contest. 

Mallory Johnson took the 3rd place spot in the North Alabama region and 15th in the tri-state competition.  The 7th grade team placed 8th in tri-state and 3rd in North Alabama behind Challenger and Muscle Shoals.  It was a very close contest.  Great effort!

Ann Carol, Ben, Brooke and Mallory will be recognized on Awards Day along with the teams.

Great Day at GACS!

Our trip to Greater Atlanta Christian School proved to be a good one!  We visited the Georgia Aquarium on Friday which was amazing.  The Dolphin Tales show was exciting as well as all the exhibits.

On Saturday, the 8th grade team placed 1st and the 7th grade team placed second.  However, the ciphering points were not added to the 7th grade score, so MAYBE we placed 1st.  I'll get back with you on that one. 

A huge thank you to our very supportive parents for meeting us there.  By the end of the day, there were well over 30 parents and siblings.  The CMS math teams travel well.  I cannot thank our math mom chaperones enough for all your help.  It was a fun weekend.  Also, thanks to the Pruitts for bringing our drinks along and for always helping our teams out.  Thank you to Mr. Pruitt for contacting the Georgia Aquarium for us.  It was definitely one of the best places we have visited.

The 7th grade had a super day as a team.  They came away with 5 of the top ten awards.  So proud of how you guys did today.

They did not add all of our ciphering points, so we will see what happens.  Maybe we WILL be first.
