Weekly RAM Newsletter
A Brief Note from Dr. Burke
I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoyed spending the week with family and friends. In order to make our messaging more engaging and appealing to the eye, we are trying out a new format for our communication. Each week I will continue to call home with a very brief message and send you a link to this email, where you will have access to more detailed information. This week's version is a little sparse, due to the fact that it is a quiet week on campus, but next week you can look forward to our club meetings resuming as well as other activities going on across campus.
Have a great night, Rams. I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow and remember, it's a 5/1/3 day.
Sincerely,
Dr. Burke

Twin Peaks and Bernardo Heights Middle School Orchestra Performance
Mathcounts Competition
We are pleased to inform you that there is some interest in forming a team to compete in Mathcounts. Mathcounts is a national math competition for students in grades 6-8. While this is not a school-sponsored event, in order to compete, students must be affiliated with a school. Here is how the competition works:
Schools register in the fall and work with students during the year. Coaches administer the School Competition, usually in January.
Between 1 and 10 students from each school advance to the local Chapter Competition, which takes place in February.
Top students from each Chapter Competition advance to their State Competition, which takes place in March.
Top 4 individual competitors from each State Competition receive an all-expenses-paid trip to the National Competition, which takes place in May.
The registration fee is $35/student.
