4/24: Family Fun Friday

4th & 5th Graders! Bring the family or come with friends to play the Math Pentathlon games before tournament. Coaches Cruz & Carrie will be answering last minute questions and available for rule clarifications.

THURSDAYS

Next year, 2009-2010, Math Club at Fern Bluff Elementary will be held on Thursday afternoons. Tuesdays conflicted with Musicats, another fantastic school activity that is offered only on that day and is highly anticipated by 5th graders. With the exception of Mad Science, there are no known major conflicts with Thursday. Mad Science will be scheduled for a different day of the school week so that students currently enrolled in both will have the opportunity to continue to attend both.
