More than a math lesson

Math Field Day isn’t just about getting the right answer...it’s about problem-solving, persistence, and thinking under pressure. These students represented their schools and their communities with pride.

From elementary to high school, this group showed what’s possible with hard work and determination! Congrats to these students and every student who represented KCS at the West Virginia Math Field Day Competition.
