Pi -Day Winners!
We want to thank all the students who participated in the Pi-Day activities. There were a lot of correct answers to the Pi-Day challenge question so we placed all the names in a bag and Mr. Hopkins drew the winners.

• Grade 7 – Eloise L. in 7-9
• Grade 8 – Aline C. in 8-6
• Grade 9 – Robyn F. in 9-6

Again we want to thank all the students who tried their best with the memorizing of Pi Digits! The winners are:

• 3rd place – memorizing 85 digits – Aya S. in 7-6
• 2nd place – memorizing 141 digits – Charlotte H. in 7-7
• 1st place – memorizing 142 digits – Rianna J. in 7-8

Congratulations to all the participants!

Congratulations go out to all of our students who participated in yesterday’s Math League competition. It was wonderful to see you working together and tackling some pretty challenging math problems.

Our Team Alpha placed first out of the 25 teams participating. So special congratulations go to Sheza, Claire, Abbey, and Alpita for this accomplishment. We also want to celebrate Eleanor for taking center stage and presenting one of her solutions to the crowd.

Well done everyone!

It is said that one of our biggest fears is public speaking. And what’s the best way to get over our fears and become more resilient and confident? By facing them head-on!

This longstanding public-speaking contest is open to youth who are learning French in school. It’s a great way to celebrate their many hours of hard work and official language bilingualism in Canada!

We’ve had some winners from MDJH featured in this contest, including two from last year.
