Dunkirk students put their math skills on display last weekend, earning money for local schools and winning prizes for themselves in the Mathnasium of Dunkirk 2014 TriMathlon contest.

In the U.S. and Canada, Mathnasium TriMathlon participants raised about $40,000 for local schools. Participants earned money for local schools just by participating in TriMathlon.

The Top 3 Mathnasium of Dunkirk winners in each of the grades represented, 3 through 5, are listed below.

“Our Mathnasium of Dunkirk TriMathlon contest was a big success with students and parents alike this year, demonstrating clearly that math can be fun. The fact that the children raised money for local schools just for participating added a level of community service to the contest. Everyone who participated should be proud of what they’ve accomplished for their schools, their community, and themselves,” said Kama Friedman, owner of the Mathnasium of Dunkirk franchise.

Winners of the Dunkirk Mathnasium 2014 TriMathlon were:

  • Grade 5: Carina Boyagian, Mt Harmony Elementary School, 1st Place; Christina Scott, Huntingtown Elementary School, 2nd Place; Sarah Dudley, Huntingtown Elementary School, 3rd Place

All participants received fun goody bags and certificates of participation. Participants who registered by September 30 received a free downloadable Math Plinko game from Lakeshore. Grand Prize winners will receive Rubik’s prize packages and Mathnasium scholarships.
