Saint Bonaventure Math Contest

On December 14, 2004 St. Bonaventure High School held its 19th annual math contest for 7th and 8th graders, consisting of five grueling rounds of tough math problems. Pictured above is the delegation from Los Primeros Structured School. Included in the picture are Dr. Simon, Veronica Simon, Mira Patel, Giorgio Valenzuela, and Robert Waite. Auddy Amilao (not pictured) also competed for LPSS. The entire Los Primeros team did extremely well, and as usual, we placed several team members in the top 10 finishers. From over 60 competitors Veronica and Robert finished in seventh and eighth place, respectively. Well done, mathletes! Below are several more pictures from the event.
