HERTEL NEWS, EVENTS & UPDATES
Math Olympiads at Hertel
Dear 5th and 6th Grade Students and Families,
We are thrilled to invite you to join the Math Olympiads Club at Elmwood Village Charter School
Hertel Campus! If you love solving puzzles, exploring challenging math problems, or simply
want to sharpen your math skills, this is a great opportunity to have fun while learning.
The Math Olympiads Club will meet from 3:15-4:15 PM on Thursdays with Ms. Hollenback (58)
and Ms. Stephens (68). We will begin on November 7 and run through December 19. Students
who take the bus are welcome to attend until their bus is called.
This club is open to 5th and 6th grade students, so whether you're a math enthusiast or just
curious about math competitions, we would love to see you there! For now, we're starting the
club small and so we can guarantee space for the first 12 students. Through fun activities and
competitions, you'll get to experience math in an exciting, supportive environment.
In addition to our own math games and challenges, students will participate in the Math
Olympiads for Elementary and Middle School. This national program runs five write-in
competitions each year. To learn more about the Math Olympiads program visit
We are eager to help you discover new ways to approach math challenges, work together as a
team, and grow your problem-solving skills. We hope you can join us for this exciting math
adventure! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Ms. Hollenback or Ms. Stephens.
Looking forward to seeing you at Math Olympiads! Fill out the online permission slip.
Best regards,
Ms. Hollenback and Ms. Stephens
