For the
eighth consecutive year, JQA has participated in the St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital Math-A-Thon for nine years in a row, raising more
than $55,00 for the charity during that time by solving problems in
Math-A-Thon Funbooks. Sponsors made donations based on how many math
problems or pages the students completed. This year’s total was $5,000.
“The Math-A-Thon problems help the students become better at math, and
we are proud and happy to help children and their families at St. Jude,”
said math lab specialist Marianna Grieco, who coordinates the event
each year.
