Parents and students gathered Friday, March 16 at Pine Meadow Elementary School for the first Math Night.
The event, sponsored by the school’s Parent/Teacher Organization and Mathnasium, aimed to show math can be fun.
“We want to help encourage STEM skills and community outreach to get kids excited about math,” said Julie Schmidt, PTO president.
Students played a variety of games that helped them practice math skills.
When it was time for a break from the games, families shared pizza and bottled water.
