Kudos II:    More ACSI Math League Winners

                       

Mrs. Wade and her ACSI Math League winners display their ribbons, medallions and award plaque.  The top math winners are (L-R):  Saxon Hunt, 9th grade 1st Place Geometry, Darcy Stickney, 8th grade  -   1st Place Pre-Algebra and Nathan Neri, 8th Grade – Algebra I.  These students competed against top ACSI Northern California schools from Danville, Roseville, Carmichael and other locations.  Mrs. Wade holds the 1st Place Award plaque for the highest scoring Pre-Algebra class in the competition (see the pre-algebra class student names in the April 26 Gate).  Well done Mrs. Wade and students!  There’s no doubt that the Gateway math program is going strong!                         

                                                                        Serving the Savior,

                                                                                                            Mr. Stutzman
