GREATEST NEWS EVER!!!!! – QUAIL VALLEY WINS FIRST PLACE AGAIN AT THE HOUSTON CHAPTER
FOR MATH COUNTS – The trophy will remain at QVMS for another year! Saturday, February 14, ten (10) students traveled to the Fluor Building to participate in the Houston Chapter of Math Counts Competition. The top seven schools and six individuals will advance to the STATE MATH Counts Competition in Austin on March 28. Quail Valley’s team of four (Andrew L., Shree M., Benjamin W., Ethan Z) won first place and the trophy for another year. Andrew L won FIRST PLACE in the Count Down Round by defeating 8 other students by answering the best of three questions. It was the greatest comeback ever…there were times he was down 0-2 and he won the next 3 questions. It is quite a feat to be able to work under that pressure with such accuracy. Also, we are PROUD to announce that we have three of the six students advancing as individuals to state: they are Kevin J.,Naveen M., and Allen Z. Our other members attending were Lauren Y., Will S., and Jeremy Z. FIRST QUALIFIER for TMSCA is THE WEEKEND, Saturday, February 21 at The Village School. We have 70+ students registered to compete in number sense, calculator, general math and general science. We will list the students next week and on our website over the weekend. There are TWO more opportunities to qualify – FCMS on Saturday, February 28 and QVMS on Saturday, March 7. ***Please volunteer to help QVMS host the REGIONAL meet on Saturday, March 7 ***** There is a conflict with the Science Bowl and 10 of our 7-8th grade students will be absent. We hope all parents will be able to be there to make this a success. Go to www.raidermath.weebly.com to sign up to volunteer or contact Mrs. Curtice. MATH CLUB FOR February 23-27 – SEE ANNOUNCEMENT BELOW NO MONDAY ,TUESDAY Math Clubs this week due to two meetings for Monday and Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday Math Club – YES for Varsity II with Mr. Shui – Wednesday February 25 – administering the AMC 10 B for students who previously took AMC 10A Thursday Math Club – YES, but this will be the last one for the year. SEE BELOW for explanation Due to drop in attendance and the competition season, Mrs. Curtice has had to make some adjustments for afterschool math clubs. Beginning the week of March 2, Monday and Thursday clubs will be combined into the Tuesday club. We will be focusing on math skills for competition and qualifying for State in San Antonio in April. The time will still be 4:10 – 5:15 and we will have extra help available with a teacher, a parent and several 8th graders to break the students into smaller groups. I apologize if this is not convenient for your student who was attending on Monday or Thursday. With only 5-7 students in attendance each Monday or Thursday, everyone is better served by combining. If you have any additional questions, please contact Mrs. Curtice. SECOND QUALIFIER – Registration is still open until February 23. Bring the pink slip to Mrs. Curtice REGIONAL and FINAL QUALIFIER – Saturday, March 7 – QVMS hosting – Need contact person for registration, concession, hospitality in library, packets to filled on Friday, March 6.
