Math Kangaroo (http://mathkangaroo.org) is an international math competition that presently engages more than 6 million students in grades 1-12 around the world. In the US participation has been increasing exponentially since the early 2000s and we would like to extend this opportunity to students in Upstate SC. The contest is based on a 75 minute multiple choice test, with 24 questions for students up to grade 4 and 30 questions for grades 5 and up.
This event will take place on the Clemson campus on March 16, 2023 at 6PM. Every participant receives from the organizers a small gift bag, so the registration must be done individually for each student by parents at http://mathkangaroo.org/mk/registration.html, from late September to December 15, 2022 A registration fee of $21 is required.
Please make all inquiries to Dr. Jason Brown at Clemson University (brown6@clemson.edu, 864-656-1217).
Don’t forget that Friday, September 16, is Blue and Gold Day at Six Mile Elementary. Go Lions!
On Friday, we invite Grandparents to be our honored guests at school!
Grandparents may enter on Friday at 1:00 pm through the cafeteria where they will sign in. (Please make sure they know the classrooms they are visiting!)
After a snack, Grandparents will then visit classrooms to see their students in action. If a Grandparent chooses to sign a student out, they will need to exit with the student through the front office.
All Grandparents should park in the upper lot near the playground, in front of the school, or in the side lot by the cafeteria. Please encourage Grandparents to not block the car line or bus line.
Hope to see everyone at Grandparents Day!
We invite you to join us for Open House on September 1!

The kindergarten courtyard is never open to the public. Please do not use the items in the courtyard.
