24 Game Tournament Volunteers NEEDED
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
WHO: Fluvanna County Public Schools
WHAT: Needs about 30 volunteers to run the 24 Game Tournament to celebrate the wonderfully-talented elementary and middle school students who love math so much that they want to spend time after school in a math competition!
WHEN: On Thursday, March 24, 2011. 3:45-5:30p.m.
WHERE: At Fluvanna Middle School’s Gymnasium.
HOW: If you would like to support kids who love math, sign up to help!
Contact Brenda Gilliam, 589-8208. bgilliam@mail.fluco.org
The 24® Game involves a deck of cards, each showing four whole numbers between 1 and 9. When presented with a card, the players strive to be the first to combine the four numbers to make 24 using only addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In addition to supporting pattern recognition, mental-math, and problem-solving abilities, this game has proven to elicit a high level of interest and excitement in Math from students. For more information, visit www.24game.com.
Grades 3-8 are participating in this academic tournament. The top 4 students per grade level will be presented with awards, and will go on to compete in the Regional 24 Math Tournament at Prospect Heights Middle School in Orange on April 14, 2011. All students who participate in Fluvanna’s tournament will receive a certificate of recognition.
Volunteers are needed to monitor the tournaments, keep score, and uphold tournament rules.
No math skills necessary!
We look forward to your support of our students in this wonderful opportunity.

Donate Glue Sticks!
Ten little gluesticks on a cart
Look so pretty and warm my heart
Nine little gluesticks come right back
Ready to serve when I pack
Eight little gluesticks still work well
Two didn?t even say farewell
Seven gluesticks getting sticky
Kids complain that they are icky
Six little gluesticks wearing out
They might not make it, that I doubt
Five little gluesticks roll around
Hoping sadly not to be found
Four little gluesticks left in the cart
Not enough to do their art
Three little gluesticks lose their tops
We can?t find ?em, call the cops!
Two little gluesticks lose their moxy
And get recycled in the boxy
One little glue stick all alone
All used up and on its own.
It's that time of year. We are disastrously out of gluesticks.
Send them in to the main office attention the ART DEPARTMENT, Thanks!
