Three outstanding district math students were invited to participate in Hofstra University’s MathApps Saturday Academy for talented students in grades 6-9. Anna Westfall and Alex Zhuo both sixth-grade students at James A. Dever Elementary School and Victoria Bradley a sixth grader from Wheeler Avenue Elementary School were among fifty students from Nassau and Suffolk counties chosen to participate in this prestigious program.
