On November 1, 2012, third grade students from Dillon Elementary competed in the Noetic Learning Math Contest, an elementary math problem solving contest held twice a year. 11,989 young students representing 621 teams across the country participated in this fall contest, with 3,055 of them in third grade.

One of our students was the winner of the team, and won the National Honor Roll title. This title is only awarded to the top 10% of participating students in the country! Four other students received a National Honorable Mention.

The purpose of participating in the contest is to stimulate our students’ interest in math and to inspire them to excel in math.  The contest results show that our students can rise to the occasion and can meet the challenge. For more information, visit their website.
