It’s been a great year for the mathletes at Waterford! Many students participated in events like Mathapalooza and our first ever Pie Contest to celebrate Pi Day this year in March. Middle School and Upper School Math Clubs were weekly happenings with the best attendance ever.

A prime number of students participated in math contests this year. Some participated for f(un), others for a dash of extra credit and some for the adrenaline rush of the competition. Four sum students, all of these reasons were a factor!  It was awesome to have so many that were even willing to show up on campus for a math contest during Spring Break. Not odd at all!
