Enrichment

It is a unique opportunity for brainstorming with other great math students. It is a place to exercise mathematical talents in a safe, competitive environment. Members practice quick thinking and problem-solving strategies at various math levels, and compete in a variety of competitions that focus on individual and team performance. There will be a series of competitions that allow us to keep rankings and have a possible cut off score to form the team. 

The annual student art show is a culminating event that is a celebration of students' creativity and achievements throughout the course of the year. It is a time for students to enjoy looking at each other's artwork and reflect on their accomplishments. They also experience what it is like to visit a gallery opening!
