We kicked off our Math Fluency License celebrations for the new school year as we wrapped up Quarter 1! Our first two students have officially earned their math licenses for mastering all of their multiplication facts — an impressive accomplishment that takes hard work, focus, and determination.
We had the pleasure of surprising and congratulating Reid (4th grade) and Matthew (5th grade) for being our first math license earners of the year. Their dedication to building fluency sets a strong example for Panthers across the school.
Way to go, Reid and Matthew! Keep up the amazing work — and we can’t wait to celebrate even more students as they earn their licenses this year! 🎉📚✖️
