Congratulations St. Mary's Math Counts Team!
Excerpts from Aiken Standard, Feb. 21, 2010:
"St. Mary edged Merriwether in the team event, with David, Bradley Cardona, Neal Patel and Ian DeMass finishing in the top 13 participants on the written exams. That part of the competition also included a team round to solve 10 problems in 20 minutes.
Another St. Mary player, Eric Sherburne, finished seventh overall - actually ahead of three of his teammates - but only the scores of four designated players counted toward the team title.
For the second straight year, the St. Mary Help of Christians School seventh-grader took first place in individual written exams and the public "Countdown" round, helping his team take first to qualify for the state contest at The Citadel in Charleston on March 6.In a consolation round, Ian DeMass edged Charlie Olheberg of JET Middle School for third place."

St. Mary's Storm Troopers advance in Lego contests |

Before the Storm Troopers members prepared for the first competition of the day at the regional First Lego League tournament, teacher/coach Michelle Nelson said she had high hopes for the St. Mary Help of Christians team.
By the end of the day at Aiken Technical College, those hopes were realized, as the Storm Troopers squad qualified for the upcoming state contest at Clemson University.
"The kids have done well, mostly at the end," Nelson said. "They worked well under pressure. The missions are very complicated, and we were worried that we could accomplish only a few. But we discovered that other schools were doing that too, so we felt pretty good."
Chukker Creek Elementary School fielded four teams at the regionals, and Oakwood-Windsor Elementary School brought a Junior Lego team of third-graders who did a demonstration program.
