Student council hosted the annual juniors vs. seniors powderpuff football game last night. The seniors jumped out to a 21-0 lead, but the junior class had a come-from-behind victory, defeating the seniors 39-33.

Our 6th graders have worked hard in math as they wrapped up a statistics unit. For this culminating project, they were required to collaborate in teams to create a statistical question, collect data from their classmates, and design a poster displaying the measures of center and variability. Their time and effort certainly paid off with these masterpieces!

A group of second graders helped their community and honored those who have served by placing flags on the Veteran's graves at Memorial Park. 25 Maple students, along with 10 staff members, placed 1500 flags to prepare for this Memorial Day weekend.

Several Somerset mathletes traveled to St. Francis University recently to compete in the Math 24 Challenge Tournament. The competition in both divisions (grades 4-5 and 7-8) was tough, so we are very proud of the three Golden Eagles who were able to advance to the semi-final round: Donovan Bobby, Jonah Reese, and Lionel Wang. Congratulations to these students, and the entire Math 24 team, for representing Somerset well!

In preparing for the Kids Marathon on May 4th, the runners from the Golden Eagle Running Club joined up with some of the distance runners from the Somerset Area School District varsity track and field team during their practice on Wednesday, April 10th. The young runners were able to be encouraged by the varsity athletes, who also gave them some pointers on running techniques. After their workout, they were able to watch the Jr High track & field meet held at the Somerset track. The Golden Eagle Running Club meets weekly and works on various running techniques, stretching and weight exercises, and of course goes through workouts to improve their running endurance. They have been meeting since mid-January and will conclude with runners participating in the Kids Marathon in Pittsburgh on Saturday, May 4th. "We are so excited to have the club run in the Kids Marathon again this year", said Coach Walker. "This will be our third consecutive year running in the race and we have 30 of our young athletes representing Somerset at this event!"

Six students from the senior high school attended a U.S. Citizenship Naturalization Ceremony on the campus of UPJ on Friday, April 5.
