Eighth graders had a great time at the Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival at SFA yesterday! The JRMF is an event designed to inspire K-12 students to explore mathematical concepts through collaborative, hands-on puzzles and games. Students enjoyed working together, thinking creatively, and discovering that math can be both challenging and fun!

Big dreams, bright futures, and a diploma on the way!
