Well, this is Devan's year for awards! Devan has been participating in Math League at school this year. Both public and private schools participate in the same league. There are 11 regions in the state and the 8th grade GMS team got 2nd in their region. (they compete against other 8th graders) Not only that, but Devan tied for 3rd place in the region with his individual score. What is Math League? I'm not totally sure.... parents aren't allowed to be at the meets. They basically have these math problems to solve and they get scored by how many they get right both individually and as a team. They say it's a pretty big deal to get far enough to get an award.

The team got one big trophy and individual medals.
Dwight also participated in this in 8th grade and had pretty high scores and got to go to the award ceremony as well, but with honorable mention. What was really interesting to see was that the kids who had the very highest individual scores in the state were almost all from Asian or Middle Eastern descent. Good job, Devan!
Good job, Devan!
