Our teams participate in four county meets and the State Math Invitational Meet held in Dover during the Spring.  Math league practice sessions are usually held one-two times per month, with most practices taking place in the afternoon from 3pm- 4:15pm.  Grade 8 will sometimes meet at lunch to avoid conflicts with after-school sports practices.
