Cold Spring Student Shine at the Santa Barbara County Math Superbowl
Congratulations to our outstanding fourth through sixth grade mathematicians! Our top student, Wyatt Carlson, placed sixth at the Santa Barbara County Math Superbowl. Wyatt also led his fifth grade team to a commendable third place overall team finish. Additionally, our sixth grade team excelled, securing third place in the team building competition.
I am incredibly proud of our students who dedicated extra time before and after school to pursue their love of math. A special thanks to our dedicated teachers for their unwavering support and encouragement, helping our students achieve these remarkable results.
