Open to middle and high-school-aged girls! Taking place on Dec. 3 inside the WILMA Show at the Wilmington Convention Center. This event is open to the public and will include fun and interactive workshops including STEM-related activities, inspiration stations with music, dance, art and more. This event will also connect these girls with local female leaders to learn, grow and be mentored. More specifics to come as we get closer.

Join Ms. Mauk and other aspiring authors and journalists on Thursday mornings during Mastery. If you are in a reading or math mastery, please check with your Mastery teacher before attending. Ms. Mauk will share attendance with staff.

Click here for a slide deck that describes all the clubs available! Then students can use the link below to request a club change.

MathCounts is a quiz-bowl type competition that challenges students to solve advanced math problems in the areas of Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, and Geometry. There is a district, regional, and state competition. Please see Ms. Mauk or ask 8th grade Ms. Williams (cheryl.williams@nhcs.net) for more information if you're interested. Also ask MathCounts Team members from last year, Peter Nguyen or Maggie Maus, for more information.

Students who are interested in Battle of the Books do NOT have to read all of the books. Choose the titles that seem interesting to you.

Additional grade level meetings will happen during lunches as we get closer to competition. Please contact our Media Specialist, Ms. Silvers (nicole.silvers@nhcs.net) if you're interested in participating.

Some students have been invited to attend a math challenge group on Mondays during Mastery. Check your email to see if you're invited. If you don't have an invite and you're interested, email Ms. Mauk. reagan.mauk@nhcs.net
