Allegany-Limestone Earns Top Honors
Allegany-Limestone students earned top individual and team honors in the regional MATHCOUNTS competition, hosted by St. Bonaventure University on Saturday, Feb. 5.
MATHCOUNTS is a national contest for sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade students. Contestants worked both individually and in four-person school teams on questions designed by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), the main sponsoring organization.
The three schools competing, along with their coaches, were: Allegany-Limestone Middle School (Kathy Stamets), Cheektowaga Central School (David Guzzino), and Tapestry Charter School from Buffalo (Garett Farrugia).
Other organizations providing financial support for the contest at the national level include CNA Foundation, National Defense Education Program, Northrup Grumman Foundation, Raytheon Company, Texas Instruments, 3M Foundation, ThinkFun, and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Locally, the contest was financially supported by St. Bonaventure University and an anonymous grant. The top school teams and the top individuals received trophies. The top three teams have been invited to the New York state competition, to be held March 19 at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus in Troy, N.Y. The top individuals from the state contest will advance to the national competition May 5-8 in Washington, D.C.
