Congratulations to the 35 BCS students who participated in the regional MATHCOUNTS competition, including North Buncombe Middle School eight grader Jacob Quade, who qualified for the state competition.
This year’s virtual competition pitted “mathletes” from 11 area schools who tackled individual and team challenges, racing the clock to solve as many math problems as possible.
BCS participants hailed from A.C. Reynolds Middle School, North Buncombe Middle School, North Windy Ridge Intermediate School, and Valley Springs Middle School.
Another congratulations to North Buncombe High School, which tied for second place in the annual Mathematics And Puzzle Program (MaPP) contest, which challenges students’ mathematical problem-solving skills.
These BCS students proved that hard-working students plus dedicated teachers plus a strong math curriculum equals success!
