PAWSITIVE REFLECTIONS
Vying for Gold at the Second Annual Math Olympiad June 7, 2011 concluded the second annual School Wide Math Olympiad at CSDR! I am very proud to say it was completely successful at each level: Elementary, Middle School, and High School. The top three students from every grade level got a chance to receive their medals on the podium at the end of day. Students wore the same colored T-shirts rooting for their grade level. The overall grade level winning team went to 2nd grade, with scores of each individual averaged into a team score. Zarek Nathanson won the overall individual winner category, in meeting expectations at his 2nd

grade level. Congratulations to Zarek and the entire 2nd grade class for being CSDR’s math whizzes! The students had fun and wore big smiles at the end.
