These Heards Ferry students, under the direction of Ms. Parr, competed in the annual Cheetah Cup Math Olympiad at Creek View Elementary against 30 other teams. The students work to solve 20 difficult problems on different mathematical topics as a team and as individuals. The organizers try to make the experience challenging and engaging for students and teachers. Our students represented Heards Ferry very well. Congratulations Olympiad students on a great job!
