Eight students from the Murray Avenue Mathletes after-school club qualified to compete in the Montgomery County MATHCOUNTS online competition. All competitors performed admirably but the high scorer for Murray Avenue was Patrick Xie (7th grade), followed by Benjamin Chervoneva (6th grade) and Edona Selamaj (8th grade). Other competitors were Alexander Kohmann, Amber Chiang, Ari Manilov, Jaeden Brown and Ravi Achilov. Congratulations to all!

Mathletes celebrated National Engineers Week by learning what different types of engineers do and working on problems related to various engineering disciplines including aerospace, environmental, chemical, software and systems engineering. With the goal of enhancing problem solving skills, Mathletes set out to discover new types of puzzles. Many people are familiar with Sudoku, but have you tried Hashi (Bridges) or Battleship Solitaire?

Baseball, Softball & Track and Field will be offered this spring at Murray Avenue. Registration for Spring sports is open on Family ID. In order to try out, you must register and have an updated PIAA physical completed by your doctor. Registration must be completed by 3/25/22. Tryouts will begin the week of 3/28/22, from 3:00-4:30 pm, weather permitting.

We are still in need of a baseball coach for the combined grade 7/8 team. If you are interested or know of someone who may be, please contact Mr. Rob Dominick at rdominick@lmtsd.org.

Any questions please reach out to Mr. Crouch at mcrouch@lmtsd.org or Mrs. Hutchison at khutchison@lmtsd.org.

The 8th Grade Art club created a chalk sunflower mural to acknowledge and bring light to the situation in Ukraine. The sunflower, called “sunyashnikiis” in Ukrainian, is the National flower of Ukraine. The flower has come to represent solidarity, a pertinent visual of “Better Together.”

Art classes will be learning about a series of contemporary female artists to celebrate Women’s History Month with a friendly March Madness competition. Students will route for their most awe-inspiring artists & try to get their favorite to the final bracket!

Here are two resources you may find helpful in supporting your child related to the crisis in Ukraine.
