During the first week of May it was my privilege to take part in the Seward Math Bowl. This is an annual event that brings together our upper elementary students from around the district. The teams compete in two half hour exercises. It is a great venue for the participating students to showcase their excellent math skills. I was impressed by the good attitude of the 150 or so students- everyone was in a good mood. Besides being the largest people in the room, my team that included two board members, did little else to distinguish themselves.
Putting together an event like this takes an enormous amount of planning and volunteering. I know that during the year we hold similar type events at several other schools. Let’s be sure to not take the organizing side of these events for granted. As the year comes to a close, I send thanks to all our staff who go the extra mile to make these events happen.
