BCA STUDENTS EXCEL AT ACSI MATH OLYMPICS

Bethany Christian Academy • March 19, 2019

The ACSI District Math Olympics were held on March 15, 2019, and were hosted by BCA for the first time. Five schools participated in the Math Olympics and BCA had 17 students in 3rd-8th grade participate in the event, and 13 of those students placed for their grade and category (either computation or reasoning (word problems). Great job BCA students! Aside from a fun filled day of math calculations, the students worshiped together, lead by BBF associate pastor Greg Stiles and BCA junior high students, ate pizza, and played some awesome games. A good time was had by all!
