Mrs. Curtice regrets that she had to cancel most of the afternoon clubs the week of Nov. 17-21. Tuesday there was the AMC 8 to give, count, check and mail out. Then Wednesday and Thursday was the District Benchmark tests. Counting and checking every answer key takes time and must be done after school.
Therefore, the week we return, we will have club EVERY day of Dec. 1-5. Depending on reviews for mid-term exams, Mrs. Curtice will try to have club Dec. 8-12. Read the newsletter to find out. I. Competition Results – WOW! Our Raidermathletes took First Place Sweepstakes at Elkins High School on Saturday, November 15. Over ninety(90) students participated in number sense, calculator, general math and/or general science. One of our 8th graders, Andrew L. made a perfect score in General Math. We ended up with 2nd team in number sense, 1st team in calculator, 2nd team in General Math (we lost to FSMS by 2 points), but finished very strong as 1st team in science to claim top position – First Place Sweepstakes. Come see the VERY LARGE trophy in Mrs. Curtice’s class. II.
