This past Friday, 24 of our students traveled to California Crosspoint Academy to compete in the local level of ACSI's Math Olympics. Armed with pencils and a good dose of trepidation and courage, students competed by grade through a series of timed tests focused on the areas of Arithmetic Computation and Mathematical Reasoning. 1st-5th place ribbons were awarded in each category to students who got at least 50% of the test questions correct, and medals were awarded to ribbon winners who got at least 80% of the test questions correct. Of our 24 participants, 17 took home ribbons and 3 took home medals. These 17 students officially qualify for the Divisional Math Olympics to take place April 17-19. Well done, Donum Dei Math Olympians!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mrs. Brittany Yeager
C.S. Lewis’ The Abolition of Man (1943) is a classic of classical education. While its clunky subtitle (Reflections on education with special reference to the teaching of English in the upper forms of schools) suggests a more immediate concern.
On the heels of a successful run of Disney's The Jungle Book KIDS, I sat down with Mrs. Rebekah Kurth, our theater arts teacher and director, to hear her stories and glean wisdom about the value of a theater arts program.
When we consider creation, we are drawn into wonder and worship of the Creator. This year our students saw the glory of God through star parties, a scale model of the solar system, the San Francisco Bay, and the Hayward Fault.
