IMS MathCounts team competed at the State MathCounts competition on March 4 at Washburn University in Topeka.
Madeline Seel is our Female Athlete of the week! Coach says "Madeline definitely brings the excitement and enthusiasm to our team! She is a reader and loves to learn, which has made her a perfect addition to our team this year. She has become our books and authors and mythology expert and is our go-to for those questions in a meet. Madeline is new to quiz bowl this year, but is quick on the buzzer and accurate with her answers, so she found a spot on our A squad this season. Her upbeat, positive attitude is contagious and she lifts her teammates up with her continuous support. I am so proud of the leader that Madeline has been for our team this year!"
Way to go Madeline!!! #TheBulldogWay
Logan Peschka is our Male Athlete of the week! Coach says "Logan is new to quiz bowl this year as an 8th grader. He learned the rules and procedures of quiz bowl quickly, understanding them well and encouraging his teammates to always practice the rules correctly. Logan, with his calm demeanor, helps act as a peacekeeper between our team's strong personalities when there are disagreements in procedures or answers in practice. He is a quiet leader who is important to our team with his vast general knowledge and we are glad that he decided to give quiz bowl a try this year!"
Great job Logan!!! We are proud of you! #TheBulldogWay

IMS Teacher of the Month is Tina Hannah. Mrs. Hannah serves as the Title Reading and Title Math coach for IMS. She, and her team of wonderful paras, do the work of two teachers and still help students make huge gains in their reading and math skills. Students enjoy going to Mrs. Hannah's classroom and often ask to work with her outside of their scheduled reading or math time. She creates a warm and welcoming environment. Students say that "Mrs. Hannah is so nice and helpful. I like going to see her because she helps me a lot".
Morgan Hall , a 6th grader at IMS, is the March Student of the Month. Teachers say she is kind and helpful to her peers and staff. Her smile lights up a room and it's contagious. She is a joy to have in class. Congratulations Morgan! #theBulldogWay

Dalton Werner is our Male Athlete of the Week! Coach says "Dalton has been a quiz bowler since the 6th grade "Taste of Quiz Bowl". He is one of our most improved teammates from last season and has thrived with our transition back to regular in-person tournaments, rather than the virtual Covid-friendly competitions. Dalton is always one of the first teammates in the door for practice each day with a smile and a positive attitude, offering to help set up for practice. I am proud of the progress that Dalton has made on our team!"
We are so proud of you, Dalton! #TheBulldogWay
Isabella Martinez is our Female Athlete of the Week! Coach says "Isabella is one of our quietest teammates, but definitely comes out of her shell when it comes to quiz bowl. She is passionate and competitive and has improved a ton since participating in 6th grade "Taste of Quiz Bowl' last year, and has even shown vast improvement since we started practices back in December. She is gaining more and more knowledge and getting quicker on the buzzer and I am excited to see Isabella continue to grow next year as a quiz bowler!"
Keep up the good work, Isabella! #TheBulldogWay

Taylor Melugin is our Female Athlete of the Week! Coach says "She is new to quiz bowl this year as an 8th grader and has been a great addition to our team. She has stepped in as a team leader showing confidence on the buzzer and learning rules and strategy quickly to earn a spot on the A squad. Taylor is our team's "expert speller" and you can bet if a spelling question comes up, Taylor will earn those points for us in a meet. We are glad that Taylor gave quiz bowl a try this year!"
Great job, Taylor! Keep it up! #TheBulldogWay
Brodie Small is our Male Athlete of the Week! Coach says "He is a "dual-sport" athlete this season and has been working hard to balance both quiz bowl and basketball practices and competitions. He has become a leader on our A squad as a 7th grader, especially with his strength in math. Brodie is always respectful, coachable, and a supportive teammate. He is a true definition of a "student-athlete". We are glad to have him on our team!"
Congrats Brodie!! We are proud of you! #TheBulldogWay
