Students at Deer Park’s John Quincy Adams Primary School recently combined math skills with compassion during this year’s St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Math-A-Thon, raising an impressive $4,500 to support children with cancer and their families.
As part of the annual event, students solved math problems in their Math-A-Thon Funbooks while also helping to spread awareness through a schoolwide poster contest highlighting the mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Sponsors pledged donations based on the number of problems or pages students completed, while others contributed fixed donations to support the cause.

JQA’s students have raised more than $80,000 over the years through the Math-A-Thon, demonstrating the school community’s long-standing commitment to helping others.

“Our school community is proud and happy to help children and their families at St. Jude,” Grieco said.
