Important Dates
We recently held our 24 Math qualifying tournaments on March 22nd and 23rd. Over 80 4th grade students participated and the competition was fierce. 16 finalists and 2 alternates emerged and will compete in the OES cafeteria at 6 PM on April 18th. 24 is a challenging math game that requires students to use 4 numbers on a card using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to reach 24. Your child can access 24 cards on the First in Math website. The finalists will be competing for the gold, silver, and bronze 24 medals on April 18th. Good luck to the finalists and thanks to all those students who were brave enough to compete in the qualifying tournaments. For more information please go to: www.24game.com
