MATH-A-THON!
It's Math-a-Thon time again! We're running it this year right before ACAP testing starts, so that students can hone rote math skills by earning prizes for completing worksheets (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, depending on grade level). Please go ahead and register your student(s) so that we can get them a packet of worksheets on Monday the 18th when we're back at school.
This is 100% free for families! When you register, you'll be sent a link that you can forward to friends and family, who can donate either per-problem solved or a flat amount. We'll accept donations from anyone and everyone, and students will earn extra prizes for donations that come in under their name, but we want everyone to participate regardless of ability to pay!
Additionally, if you register now, you can start logging their number of completed math problems from any math practice they're doing this week (digital or analog). If you need us to log the completed problems for you, just send them to asflpta@gmail.com or 256-299-3114.

Thank you, and let me know if you have any questions!
