The enthusiasm was phenomenal. The kids were so excited to work on math, and work together with their classmates on math challenges. There was a great energy. One of the things we always strive for is working collaboratively. When you're looking at the jobs these kids will have, the skill they'll need, besides academics, is to work collaboratively. -- Principal Patricia Barrett.
