World Maths Day

World Maths Day is finally here!
Students play at home and at school against other students around the world in live games of mental arithmetic. Each game lasts for 60 seconds and students can play up to 100 games, earning points for their personal tally.  Students can play beyond 100 games during the event, but points will only count to the World Maths Day Mathometer, not their personal point score.  The students who answer the most questions correctly will appear on the Hall of Fame.  There are 5 levels of play, 20 games on each level.

In Honor of Nanette Quinn

This is the 1st annual St. Mary’s School Gobbler 5k to benefit the Nanette Quinn Memorial Scholarship Fund.
As a teacher of French and sponsor of the Student Council at St. Mary’s for 29 years, Nanette Quinn touched the lives of many students and colleagues.  Her influence on these lives, however, was so much more than one of longevity in the workplace. She infected us all with her special spirit, enthusiasm, and passion or as the French say – joie de vivre.
