SJHS students come in first at state math competition
Twenty nine Springville Junior High students went to the state math competition, and the seventh and ninth graders came in first place. On Thursday, March 16th, the students went to Utah Valley University to take a 40 question test in two and a half hours. SJHS students went with Mr. Anderson, a math teacher here at SJHS.
This test was to assess what the schools have taught, the students, and their math skills. “The test was cool and hard, but I took it more for fun,” said Brent Blackwell, an eighth grader here at SJHS.
All of the schools in Utah went to this math competition. Many of them ranked pretty high. The seventh and ninth graders from SJHS were ranked in the 3A division.
