Our Number Ninjas were hard at work this week, and the results were incredible! An extremely high number of students leveled up by mastering their math facts and earning new belts. Your dedication, practice, and perseverance are truly impressive!

A special congratulations to our newest BLACK BELT, who has shown incredible focus and determination on the path to math mastery. That is an amazing accomplishment!

We are also proud of all the students who earned Green, Blue, Orange, Yellow, White,Purple, Brown, and Red belts this week. Your commitment to practicing your facts is paying off.

Our students are becoming true Fact Fighters, slicing through multiplication facts with speed and accuracy. Keep training, Ninjas! 🥷➗✖️

Congratulations to this week’s Golden Eagle Athlete of the Week, Kamdyn Borge!

Here’s what Coach Paiton Burckhard had to say:

“Kamdyn Borge had a phenomenal performance in our game on Thursday, February 12th vs. Huron. She finished with 22 points, shooting an impressive 4-of-6 from the three-point line. Kamdyn stepped up in big moments and provided a huge spark for our team, especially when we needed momentum. Beyond her scoring, she brought energy on both ends of the floor. She competed defensively and lifted her teammates with her effort and leadership. Her performance was a major factor in our success that night and demonstrated the impact she can make when she plays aggressively and confidently.”
