Eighth graders took part in the first of several year-long advisory competitions, using the mathematical game buzz. The game asks students to count off numbers and say “buzz” when multiples of a specific number are named. The winners were Robbie Mirabello in first place, followed by Ranvir Malik and Mihir Patel. Other runners-up included Lydia Moore, and Miles Tiller and Zoe Edelman. Ms. Coppola-Klein’s yellow-colored advisory won for the best costumes and spirit and Ms. Haywood’s advisory currently leads with the most points for the year. Advisory competitions also are based on attendance, earning merits, and other honors and will culminate in a final eighth grade Olympics in the spring.
