Mounds Park Academy was recently named one of only 266 school nationwide to achieve Gold Level Status in the 2012 MATHCOUNTS Club Program. The MATHCOUNTS Club Program is a middle school math enrichment program designed to “inspire excellence, confidence, and curiosity in U.S. middle school students.”
In a congratulatory letter to MPA, MATHCOUNTS Deputy Director Kristen Chandler wrote, “Achieving Gold Level Status is an impressive accomplishment requiring hard work and dedication; the students at Mounds Park Academy math club successfully completed a total of six rigorous math challenges throughout the school year.”
Chandler also praised the dedication of MPA’s MATHCOUNTS coach, Dan Ethier. “Coaching a MATHCOUNTS math club requires that a teacher put in significant time above and beyond regular classroom responsibilities.”
Mounds Park Academy was presented with a Gold Level trophy and banner in recognition of this accomplishment. Congratulations to Mr. Ethier and the MPA MATHCOUNTS team!
