Math Olympiads
The honors students from 5th & 6th grade were among the approximately 100,000 students from about 3500 teams worldwide to participate this year in the Math Olympiad program. They participated in a series of five monthly contests of five problems each, from November to March. The students were taught to creatively solve unusual and difficult problems during practice sessions under the supervision and coaching of Mrs. Huff.
The students did well and were recognized with certificates for their participation. Of the twenty-seven students who participated, the following awards were given:
All 27 students received an embroidered felt patch awarded to those in the top 50%
9 students received a silver pin awarded to those in the top 10%
Nick Conway, Emir Konicanin, Nina West, Lucas Grisoni, Betsy Noland, Jaxson Barnes, Dominick Keightley, Shloak Rambatla, & Jerry Smith
3 students received a gold pin awarded to those in the top 2%
Nolan Rief, Dillon Hunter, & Kellen Keightley
1 student received the prestigious Dr. George Lenchner medallion awarded for a perfect score of 25 points

The Copper Canyon Honors Team was named to the National Math Olympiad Honor Roll, and was awarded a plaque for being in the 90th percentile, top 10%.
Congratulations to the students as they learned, persevered, and earned these awards.
