October Mathletes!

The Monthly Mathlete award is given to one career prep student, one college prep student, and one honors student every month. These students are nominated and chosen by the Math Department on the basis of their hard work and leadership in the math classroom. They will have their pictures posted in the Math Wing for the month and will each receive a coupon for a free MTO at Sheetz.

Aliya Trussel has been chosen for this award as a result of her determination for success, to truly understand calculus concepts, and drive to learn independently, both of which make her stand out from your peers this fall. It was such a surprise to her teacher to set up Khan Academy assignments, to find that she already explored and completed many of them independently. The creativity in her limits project also stands out, not only in the appearance of her poster, but her approach to the regression line, and her topic choice was unique. Aliya’s persistence in learning also stands out; when she seeks out feedback, she never gives up and is always willing to each problem again. Thank you, Aliya, for your effort thus far. Your teacher is so happy to have you in AP Calculus, and is looking forward to the rest of the year!

Joadel Pabon Quinones has been chosen for the award because he has been the top Intro C student in his class, earning a 99.5%. He is always prepared for class and always has a smile on his face. Joadel is always willing to volunteer answers and help those around him. His 100% on both of the recent polynomial part I and II tests is the first that his teacher has had while teaching Intro C. He is quick to pick up on content, and when he is not sure of something, he always asks for help. Continue doing a great job, Joadel! Your teachers couldn’t be more proud!

Keegan Diggs has been chosen for this award because of her work ethic and determination to keep up with her school work as both a cross country and golf athlete, making her stand out among her peers. Her teacher appreciates that Keegan always takes the time to tell her ahead of time when she will be missing class, collects work that she will be missing, and completes the work. At a young age, Keegan already has a good understanding of the extra responsibility of being a student athlete. Her efforts really stand out,  and her teacher is happy to have her in the class. Keep up the great work, Keegan!
