The Rashkis Elementary School Math Olympiads Team has been named to the National Math Olympiad Honor Roll.
Teams must be in the top 10 percent of all national and international elementary school teams to be named to the honor roll. More than 4,000 teams and 100,000 students nationally and about 1,800 teams and 35,000 students in 32 other countries compete in the program.
For the program, students participated in a series of five monthly contests of five problems each, as well as weekly practice sessions. More than half of all Rashkis team members won national awards for excellence within the program’s elementary school division.
The team, which is organized by Amanda Foster and Donna Bauman, was also named to the Grade Five National Meritorious Achievement List for being in the top 20 percent of all fifth-grade teams.
