Team M.A.T.H. Wins First Place at State Competition
Team M.A.T.H., Cople's Community Problem Solving team, traveled to Suffolk, VA on Friday, April 20th to compete in the state competition.
The team has been working diligently throughout the school year to help Cople students increase their math knowledge and skills. They have held many contests and challenges and been visible at nearly all Cople events throughout the school year. In late March the team submitted a 6 page paper, a HUGE scrapbook, and a five minute multimedia presentation that told everything they had done and plan to do as the year closes out. Their project was then scored by state evaluators and was selected as the top in the state of Virginia while receiving a whopping 93% of the points possible. Their first place finish and high score earned them an invitation to international competition at the University of Indiana in Bloomington, Indiana from June 6-10. They will travel there to compete and represent the state of Virginia, Westmoreland County, and Cople Elementary. We are certain they will continue to make us proud!

Cople is in the middle of their annual All School Read. Each family that chose to participate has been provided with a copy of The Lemonade Wars, by Jacqueline Davies. Each night the family reads a chapter together and then the next day the students answer trivia questions about their reading the night before.
The final part of the All School Read is making a visual to represent the book that will be displayed outside their classroom to be enjoyed during the Lemonade Wars walkabout. A fifth grade student in Mr. Woodrow's class, Grace B., has decided to create a website as her visual project. She has been updating the website each day with the trivia questions and answers and plans on adding pictures of other visuals around the school.
