Nearly 1,000 students and their parents returned to
Loretto Elementary on the evening of November 17 for the school's first ever Math Night.
The event was a school-wide celebration of math, specifically focusing on measurement.
Principal Christopher Begley and Assistant Principal Lani Derby discussed with students and parents the importance of Loretto Elementary hosting activities that will improve its students' academic abilities.
"The Loretto faculty feels that it is more important than ever to show our students how essential education is, and how fun and exciting learning can be in or outside of the classroom."
During the evening, students participated in math-themed activities such as the Discus Throw and the Gummi Yummi.
Thanks to generosity of surrounding businesses, the school was able to raffle prizes to students who attended Math Night.
