Mead Teams Do Well at "Math is Cool" Competition

The fifth grade "Math is Cool" competition took place at Mt. Spokane High School on April 25th with over 65 teams from around the region competing in Division 1 and 2. Over 600 students, teachers and parents were present. This was the final “Math is Cool” competition. The 6th grade and 4th grade events took place earlier.

Mead students did very well with three of our 5th grade elementary teams winning a trophy and placing in the top 5 out of 33 schools competing in Division 1. Farwell placed 5th, Midway placed 4th, and Meadow Ridge came in 1st. Three other Mead schools placed in the top ten: Colbert, Shiloh Hills, and Brentwood. Ben Reich, 5th grade student at Brentwood, won the individual competition! These students are in the elementary challenge program.

Meadow Ridge is sending a 4th grade, 5th grade, and 6th grade team to the State competition. Midway is sending one 5th grade team and a fourth grader to the State competition. Congratulations to everyone involved with a special thanks to the Mt. Spokane students and staff who helped with the event.
