Congratulations to my former students!

Mark, one of my former students at MUS dropped me an e-mail this past week to let me know how they fared in the recent Tennessee Mathcounts competition.

Mark, Eli, and Carson competed in the state Mathcounts competition and finished in second place. That is the highest finish for the team since I came to the school back in 2000-2001, and I congratulate them for their achievement. I know they wish they'd beaten MBA of Nashville (our nemesis), but I know they gave it their best effort. Mark, Eli, and Carson are all exemplary young men, and I look forward to hearing of their future accomplishments.

For the record, MBA and MUS both offer Honors Algebra in 7th grade and Honors Geometry in 8th grade for those students who are ready for the challenge (Mark, Eli, and Carson are all in Honors Geometry this year).
