We had a wonderful year with Math Club. Last Saturday, May 7th, we had 33 of the 48 kids participate in two different state wide competitions: Math Championship in Blaine and WSMC Olympiad in Seattle.

Two teams of 6 kids in total challenged themselves to participate in the tougher Middle School Math Championship in Blaine. Scoring for this championship is highly competitive as they are ranked against each other. Our two teams from CRE performed successfully and we are so proud of them for making that extra effort in preparation for this particular competition.

Seven teams with a total of 27 kids participated in the Washington State Math Council’s Middle School Math Olympiad in Seattle. Every single team (including the 4th graders) exceeded the standard against which they are judged thereby earning at least one ribbon of excellence. Some teams earned two ribbons and two teams earned two medals each (the highest award). One of our teams had the top score in session 2 amongst all the 21 teams at this site. They were also the only team in this site to receive a “superior” rating as they scored all 5 correct answers in Number Sense.

We are so proud of all our bright, young mathematicians whether or not they participated in the championships. We wish them the very best in all their future endeavors.

A big thank you to the Coaches for all their time and effort the whole season.
