The seventh-grade math fair is held each year to let students see how math affects the real world. Each contestant learned about self chosen topic in mathematics and what it takes to deliver a successful presentation to the judges.

I would like to thank the following people and students who helped out with the 9th annual math fair recently. First of all thank you to all the students who participated in the math fair contest.

There was a lot of hard work that went into each project entered.

I think that all of the projects were winners.

Secondly I would like to thank the following judges, scorekeepers, volunteers, and student helpers: Ralph Dougherty, Steve Lund, Erna Berthelson, Lenore Fries, Bobbi Schroeder, Evelyn Egland, Stephen Bonine, Joel Vano, Karen Borneman, Iris Tarvestad, Sandy Kvenvold, Penny Jacobsen, Bill Groskurth, Carol Rask, Sharon Miller, Cheryl Herald, Beth Spande, Rachel Friedman, Sara Judd, Jared Bowman, Blake Adams, Andrew Peterson, Jon Beighley, Matt Hockinson, Anthony Tippett, Abbey Arends, Ally Herbst, Amanda Wood, Whitney Sauer, Mikaela Bordewick, Collin Milliron, Katelyn Anderson, Mikaela Pierson, Mariah Maras and Whitney Walker. It is with your hard work that the math fair contest continues to flourish and be enjoyable for all.

Finally, my thanks go out to the parents and community members who came to view the wonderful projects on display in the school cafeteria.
