On To State!
First-time State Math Qualifiers from LC!
March 20, 2008
200We want to extend a big CONGRATULATIONS to the participants
of the 6th grade Math Day at Iowa Western Community College! All
the participants worked hard and did very well. Lewis Central had a
total of 10 students who qualified to participate in the
competition. To qualify, a series of tests were given to the
Advanced Math sections of the 6th grade class, and the 10 who
scored the best were given the opportunity to participate. These
students include: Franklin Piedade, Amy Epperson, Frasier Dew,
Brook DeMarque, Christian Fricke, Brendan Johnson, Colton Cubrich,
Josh Rolles, Weston Morgan, and Lincoln Rodenberg. Participating in
this event were 32 other teams that included over 160 students from
around the area.
We are proud to announce that one of the teams representing
L.C.M.S. went on to capture 1st place in this competition! This
team consists of Brendan Johnson, who also tied for second place in
the individual contest. Next was Weston Morgan, who placed seventh
in individual rounds. Josh Rolles, finishing 14th in individual.
Coming in 23rd in individual was Colton Cubrich. The final member
on the championship team was Lincoln Rodenburg. The teams were
accompanied by 6th grade teachers Rob Lear and Megan
Richardson.
We are off to the state competition on May 9 in Fort Dodge where we
will be competing against teams from all around the state that have
won their district contest. Everyone is so proud of this
accomplishment. Special thanks to Mrs. Frank for her work with
these math students. Good Luck at state!
