The event featured a variety of engaging activities, including a rock-paper-scissors hula hoop challenge, a balloon pop relay, Pop-A-Shot, and more! Additionally, twelve students from each grade level were randomly selected to take part in silly stringing Mrs. Breha and Mr. O'Neill. Keep up the great work!
4th and 5th Grade Math Competition
On Saturday, February 24th, our 4th graders were buzzing with excitement as student teams from the 4th and 5th grades gathered to showcase their math skills. The math competition provided a platform for students to demonstrate their mathematical knowledge and problem-solving abilities in a fun and competitive environment. Participants eagerly put their skills to the test, showcasing their passion for learning and math. The event was not only a test of math proficiency but also a celebration of teamwork, critical thinking, and academic excellence.
