Middle school students compete in JCPS district math event
Adoptable Pet of the Month
DTSmithfield
Welcome to the Realo Family
Tucker’s foster mom can’t call him a good boy often enough, so she gave him “Good-Boy” as his middle name. Now everyone can call him that! He has no behavior issues and is a very quick learner. He learned to fetch in five minutes and picked up several commands on the second or third attempt. He now asks to go out and walks well on a leash. Tucker likes to make his own bed by arranging his blankets in a certain way. Tucker also likes to sit with you on the couch. If he wants to get closer, he will sit on your arm or chest. Tucker is a handsome and fine boy who will bring laughter and silliness into your life. Tucker is house trained and crate trained. He is 65 lbs and is 3 years old.

ohnston County Public Schools (JCPS) held the MathCounts district competition last month at Johnston Community College. “Mathletes” from 10 JCPS middle school teams participated in the event. The competition consisted of four separate events that included sprint, target, team and countdown rounds. Last year, around 75 students competed in MATHCOUNTS. “The annual MathCounts events are great opportunities for our students to showcase their brilliance in a fun and friendly environment, and highlight the strength of the district’s math curriculum at the same time,” said Amanda Byrd, JCPS Teaching & Learning Secondary Math Specialist. McGee’s Crossroads Middle student Orrin Lam was the firstplace individual winner. Coming in second was Elliot White of Cleveland Middle and North Johnston Middle’s Aiden Ernst claimed third. In the team event, the Cleveland Middle team won first place, second place went to the North Johnston Middle Jaguars and McGee’s Crossroads Middle rounded out the team competition in third. These three schools now move on to the MATHCOUNTS

chapter competition that will be held in Raleigh in February. The competition series has four levels of competition — school, chapter, state and national. MATHCOUNTS provides engaging and fun math programs to U.S. middle school students of all ability levels to build confidence, and improve attitudes about math and problem solving. “This is a district-wide event that is provided by many people. We are grateful for the many agencies and organizations, particularly Johnston Community College for helping to provide this for our students,” said Byrd.
