Congratulations McKenna!

McKenna Tracy received her math games today as a result of winning the Math Chocolate Fix Challenge on the Math Counts website this past month. Congratulations McKenna!

It's time to kick into gear for science fair. Please see the packet your scholar has as to requirements for the foam board for his/her table presentation. Also note the TOTAL height that they are allowed to have. Those that move onto Weber State (top three sixth graders) will want to have some kind of flashy title piece that extends above the actual board. They have plenty of space to do that. Also be sure scholars are watching WHERE they put their information. Boards that are not correct will be sent back home to be corrected before the fair. Be certain to take pictures and have pictures on the board of the student working the experiment.

We are currently taking part in the Yukon Quest 1000 mile sled dog race as a class. You can watch the updates and live streaming at:
