Mathathon Week was a great success!
Mathathon Week was last week and score sheets have been sent home. It's not too late even if you haven't already made a pledge. Pledge money is DUE this Friday, March 6th. Send in any amount with your child’s and teacher’s name attached. No amount is too small - it all adds up!
Every student who brings in any amount of money by Friday will be entered into the drawing to participate in the Minute to Win It games. Two classrooms will also win prizes: 1) The classroom that has the highest level of participation from its students, meaning the most students who bring in ANY amount of money; and, 2) The classroom with the highest dollar amount in pledges collected. Winners will be calculated based on funds collected by this Friday.
