Congratulations to Madison Middle School “mathletes” who placed in the state Middle School Math Olympiad at Seattle University over the weekend. Coach Kathleen Myers, 6th/7th grade math teacher who’s on the left and shared the photo, reports:

Out of the 5 teams we brought to the competition, 4 placed!

-Our only 8th grade team won the only ribbon at Seattle U in session 2 problem-solving.

-Both of our 7th grade teams won a medal(the highest award) and two ribbons of excellence in the session 1 and session 2 problem-solving.

-One of our 6th grade teams won a ribbon of excellence in the session 1 long-problem-solving event.

At right in the photo is Colleen McClure, described by Kathleen as “a community volunteer extraordinaire” who “has no children at Madison but volunteers for many weeks from Boeing to assist the team.” Congratulations to all!
