Math 24 Teams are getting "fired up and ready!"

Math 24 Teams in grades 4th-7th are being formed and district competitions have been very exciting. Many strong math students have been working hard and practicing their Math 24 cards and grade level teams are being formed to compete at the Regional Level throughout the first two weeks of March.   Each team is made up of 6 students and those students in 4th grade have been practicing single digit, 5th grade is practicing double digit, 6th grade challenges themselves in exponents and integers and the most difficult is 7th grade who must solve fraction and decimal Math 24 cards.  These students show excellent Math ability and will have the chance to show their "math smarts" soon.  Edgerton will have a great showing at these math competitions.  Good Luck to all the students!

National Geography Bee

Throughout the month of January students in grades 5th-8th  had the opportunity to 'show off' their geography smarts and take part in classroom competitions for the Geography Bee.  After many rounds of questions two top geography experts surfaced and went on to the school wide National Geography Bee sponsored by the National Geographic Society and Google.  The 5th grade Final Competition took place at the EPAC on Wednesday, January 22.  There were 14 finalists for 5th grade and Peyton Fox earned first place honors with Ethan Krause and Brett Langer taking second and third.   The Final Competition at the Middle School took place on Thursday, January 23rd.  Nine students made it to the finals and Michael Stockel earned first place honors.  Peyton and Michael each completed a 70 question final test that was sent

n to the state level.  Students may earn top honors at state and continue on to national competition.  All results will be communicated to the schools by mid March.  Edgerton students showed incredible geography knowledge!
