They have been holding practices during lunch once per week since the beginning of the semester. Last week, they practiced competing in front of an audience by holding a mock competition in front of the 7th and 8th graders during class.

MATHCOUNTS is a national competition series consisting of a sprint round, target round, team round and countdown round. The first competition in the series is the chapter competition.  Top students from each chapter, advance to their state/territory competition; the top 4 individuals from each state/territory competition advance to the national competition (all expenses paid) and the national champion receives a $20,000 college scholarship!

Avon Benjamin, the St. Thomas/St. John  Mathcounts Coordinator will be facilitating the St Thomas/St John chapter competition at UVI, in the ACC Building Conference Room on 2/27/2020 at 9 am.  I will be there, along with Mrs. Arpasi and our team of 7 mathletes. Parents are welcome (and encouraged) to attend as well.
