Suwanee students win Mathnasium's 2015 TriMathlon Contest

Suwanee, GA, October 30, 2015 – Students from Johns Creek, South Forsyth and Suwanee put their math skills on display on October 18th, earning money for local schools and winning prizes for themselves in the Mathnasium of Johns Creek’s 2015 TriMathlon contest.

In the U.S. and Canada, Mathnasium TriMathlon participants raised $37,000 for local schools. Participants earned money for local schools just by participating in TriMathlon.

“Our Mathnasium TriMathlon contest was a big success with students and parents alike this year, demonstrating clearly that math can be fun. We had students competing from 3 different counties at our Johns Creek location. The fact that the children raised money for local schools just for participating added a level of community service to the contest. Everyone who participated should be proud of what they’ve accomplished for their schools, their community, and themselves,” said Chris Lee owner of the Mathnasium centers in Johns Creek, South Forsyth and Suwanee.
