This year, for the first time, Wheeler Avenue fifth-grade students in Mrs. Smaldon’s class participated in the St. Jude Math-a-thon. The students completed math packets aligned with the fifth-grade Common Core Learning Standards including volume, fractions, place value and geometry. They also obtained sponsorships to collect donations to benefit the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital where doctors and scientists work to eradicate childhood cancer.
Through the students’ hard work and the generosity of their sponsors, a total of $240 was raised.
