6th grade:
Lucy Steyer, Abbey Motley, and Devin Palmer

Our 4th grade and 6th grade teams both won first place blue ribbons!  The fifth and seventh grade teams represented us well — we’re proud of all of them for their committment in math! (Only first and second place are awarded, so we never know how the other teams did.)

Our next competition will be in February, 2012. Our Hornets will be ready!!
