Green Park student takes top honors in math contest

Last Saturday more than 150 fourth and fifth grade students from 13 schools throughout the region came to Berney Elementary to compete in the Walla Walla Valley Math Contest. Green Park 5th grade student Russell Skorina took first place in the individual category while Green Park Elementary earned top team honors.

With the help of more than 40 volunteers including teachers, Explorer parents and community members, these students were given the chance to compete in Addition/Subtraction, Multiplication/Division, Spatial Relations/Patterns, and Team Problem Solving contests. Special thanks to Volunteer Laura Schueller for coordinating the contest.

The tests were scored while the students enjoyed a pizza lunch provided by WWPS, and the awards were presented in front of many proud parents and family members. Special thanks to Berney faculty and staff for the use of their classrooms, library, and other facilities.
