On Saturday, one 6th grade team and one 8th grade team from Maywood's Math Team competed in the Math Is Cool State competition in Moses Lake. Congratulations to 8th grader Pravir Chugh, who earned first place, out of all Geometry competitors. And, congratulation to our 8th Grade team - Pravir Chugh, Michael Lilley, Ryan Reamy, and Jacob Rubenstein - who earned the First Place team award for their division, the first time for any Maywood Middle School team. 

Charger 100

Thank you Maywood PTSA for providing cupcakes and supporting our Charger 100 program! 

Our Charger 100 program is one of the ways we recognize and reinforce student efforts on their academics, being a contributing member of our community, and demonstrating positive behaviors. We were excited to see about 550 students receive their reward on Friday, April 6th. In order to have been eligible, students needed to return their completed Charger 100 form to their SDR teacher by Thursday, March 29th. Our hope is that this provides a great opportunity to celebrate your student’s success with him/her and plan for future improvements. Since we celebrate Charger 100 every trimester, there will be one more chance to participate this year.

Student of the Month: 

Each month Grade level and Elective teams recognize 2 students that show one of the CHARGER characteristics we value. March’s characteristic was Enthusiastic.  Just before Spring Break, these students were given certificates of recognition and thanked for their exemplary Charger behavior.

Maywood's Speaking for Success:

March 19 and 30, Maywood's Speaking for Success club welcomed professional debate coach, Jim Hanson, from Climb the Mountain Speech & Debate. 

Maywood Math Team

Congratulations again to Maywood's Math Team for another successful competition at the Washington State Math Championship in Blaine, WA. A special shout out goes to Pravir Chugh, 8th grade, who came in second overall in the individual competition. Way to go Chargers!
