"Maddie's math teacher sent this to me today. "Hey this is Mr. Frame, I just wanted to let you know that I'm extremely proud of Madison. She has worked very hard on long division and today I picked her to show how to solve a problem in front of the class. She nailed it and the class clapped for her, awesome moment.""

"Every Thursday a small group of students had the chance to play math games with Ms. Sari. They looked forward to it each week. Now they understand that as student athletes we have to practice math just like we practice sports."
