Kirby School District 140 brought home 16 awards from the annual South Cook Math Bowl held at Prairie State College on April 27 - 28. Quite a feat when you consider more than 100 contestants from 16 school districts competed each day in the event.
The South Cook Math Bowl is an annual event that brings the best math students from elementary and middle schools in the south and southwest suburbs to compete against one another in individual and team events. In KSD 140, the three students with the highest math test scores per grade were selected to participate in the contest, with two competing and one serving as an alternate. D140 math coaches believe that the success of their math team is a direct result of the dedication, time, and effort the students and their teachers put forth in preparing for the competition.
