Multiple winners from JE at 2019 Perennial Math Competition

Students and teams from Jordan-Elbridge Middle School and Elbridge Elementary took home multiple top awards at the 2019 Perennial Math Central N.Y. Competition held at JEHS on Jan. 19. More than 370 students and 60 teams from schools around the region participated.

Individual winners from Elbridge Elementary included Logan Guerrette, Bridget Whiting and Cameron Fraher. Individual winners from Jordan-Elbridge Middle School included Ayden Campion, Alexander Kunz, Holden Taylor and Katelyn Jaimes.

In the team competition, the fourth grade team from Elbridge Elementary took home a first place award. Also, four teams from Jordan-Elbridge Middle School (two from sixth grade, one from seventh grade and one from eighth grade) placed in the competition. A sixth grade team earned a first place award.

Elbridge Elementary principal RJ Hartwell said although the weather didn’t cooperate, students from around the region still participated and had fun.

“We are proud of all our students for participating, particularly our fourth grade team who took first place in their grade level,” he said.

“Dr. Sylvia Dean, the Perennial Math director, is already planning to return next year with another Perennial Math Competition for area students.”

According to the Perennial Math website, the organization offers competitions for grades 3-12, and hosts annual online competitions, monthly virtual tournaments, and live tournaments around the country. It was created to offer students more venues to showcase their talents and to help teachers develop math skills in their classroom.
