Prep provides countless opportunities for incoming freshman to get to know our school, one of them being the Math Games. On October 26, from 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM, Prep will be hosting a Halloween-Themed event for 8th graders all over the great Seattle area to learn more about our vibrant community.
The Math Games consist of Halloween-themed challenges and math games for the students to complete. The activities have been crafted over many years by, Mr. Hickey and Mr. Meza who were the original creators. These games are not only fun but also educational, letting the students do fun activities!
“It’s hard work and lots of planning goes into it, but the result is so rewarding when you see all the happy smiles” explained Ms. Sassi, a math teacher here at Seattle Prep. Ms. Sassi has been planning the Math Games for 2 years now with the help of Mr. Behrman, a math and science teacher here at Prep.
Since there are so many Catholic schools that are invited to this event, there are usually around 120 participants. Since so many 8th graders participate in this event, volunteers are essential to having a smooth-running event for Mr. Behrman and Ms. Sassi.
The volunteers will be organized by Mrs. Miller, their enthusiasm and commitment to helping will enhance the experience for the younger students, making them feel welcomed and comfortable throughout the day.
“Since this event is only a week before the Open House, the students get a feel for our school” explained Ms. Sassi, when asked about the importance of Math Games.
We look forward to this fun-filled day and to meeting so many incoming freshmen!
