Sayville Middle Schoolers Take Part in Math Competition

Sayville Middle School recently sent two teams to the inaugural Math Masters Invitational at Udall Road Middle School in West Islip. Seventh and eighth grade teams competed against 14 local schools in individual and team competitions.

The students participated in math related activities throughout the competition while meeting others from neighboring communities who share a similar passion for math. Sayville seventh grader Zacharia Joseph came in first place out of 140 students in the individual competition. He was joined on the seventh grade team by Carter Alcabes, Alexandra Graziano, Katherine O’Malley, and Scarlett Trainor. The eighth grade team included Anna DeGraff, Cameron Dyckova, David Hernandez, James Huemmer, and Jake Meittinis. Both teams were advised by mathematics teachers Kellie Lindskog and Kimberly Pacia.

“All of us at the Sayville School District are so proud of each of these aspiring mathematicians for their work at the Math Masters Invitational,” said Sayville Superintendent of Schools Marc Ferris. “I am glad that they had the opportunity to showcase their math prowess alongside other exceptional students from across Long Island.”
