Several 5th and 6th grade gifted students competed in the Calcu-Solve math competition at Duquesne University on November 15th. The students worked independently and in teams to complete math word problems. Unfortunately, our 7th & 8th grade students were not able to attend their Calcu-Solve competition on November 16th because of a school cancellation. TMS hosted the annual Middle School Quiz Bowl competition on November 3, 2016. Over 100 students made up a total of 16 teams for the competition this year. Gifted students from Canon-Mac, Fort Cherry, Avella, McGuffey, Burgettstown, Chartiers-Houston, and Washington attended. Teams of students answered trivia questions in a bracket-style competition.
Two Trinity teams made it to the semifinal round and Trinity #5 narrowly won the competition by beating McGuffey with a score of 27 to 35. Congratulations to Riley, Emma, Ray, Emily, Mikey, and Ben on a job well done! A special thanks to all parents who donated snacks to make our event a success! |
