Hi friends (GT teachers and coordinators)

Quick updates: School "Pre-registration" is now closed. If you (teachers) would still like to register, please contact Matt Bixby (mbixby@cherrycreekschools.org) to ask if it's still possible. 

If you (school coaches) have already registered, HERE is the link to submit your student names. Please do so immediately. 

The annual Rich Morrow Math Challenge is back again!!! (for its 24th year!).  

Overview:  The RMMC is an annual math event/competition for 3rd-5th graders in the Cherry Creek School District.  Each year, around 300 students gather together to work together on challenging math problems. 

Date:  Saturday, Dec 14th, 2024

Times:  8:30 to 2:00 (ish)

Location:  Smoky Hill High School (most likely; we're still confirming with them)

Teams/Kids:  same as usual; 3 kids per grade (3rd, 4th and 5th)

Cost:  $110 per school (here's the RevTrak to pay)

More details:  Most schools choose their team of 9 (sometimes with a few extra students attending practices), and organize at least a few practices (the more, the better!) to look at sample problems, work on "Team Round" strategies, and just have fun doing puzzley math problems!  We split the schools (usually 25-30) into 3 "divisions" to maximize the amount of awards we can give (we'll give LOTS of awards, and each school will have at least one winner, or more!). 

The link to pre-register your school is live (should take you about two minutes).

As soon as I can, I'll email you a little flyer that you're welcome to print or forward out if you need to drum up interest (or feel free to make your own!).

Hope all's well!  Let me know if you have any questions.
