🎉 Congratulations Pitt/Mrs. Becker's Kindergarten Classroom! 🎉

James Gettys Elementary is proud to host our 4th annual Math Madness competition. This initiative serves as a key fundraiser for our PTO and a community-building event that encourages students to master their math facts.

The competition follows a bracket-style tournament where each classroom represents a college team. Teams that are eliminated from the bracket remain active participants by continuing their fundraising efforts and 'dumping' their collected donations into the jars of the remaining teams. We will host a final announcement on March 26th to recognize both the bracket winner and the classroom that demonstrated the highest growth in math fact scores.

The fundraising goals/incentives:

When your class earns $100 - Extra Recess!
When your grade level earns $500 - Free Choice Seating in the Cafeteria for ONE Week!
When our hallway earns $2,000- "Have a Ball" stations for K-2 and Basketball Olympics for 3-5!
When our school earns $4,000 - School Wide field trip to Gettysburg College for a Teacher vs. Students Basketball Game. Students chosen by teachers based on Warrior Way behavior, math fluency achievement & improvement, etc. The Gettysburg College basketball team will also speak with students about what it takes to be a team player and the importance of our “4 Bs” for both athletic/academic success and overall citizenship.
If we exceed our goal, students will be able to "PIE" staff members!
The Most Improved Class and Bracket Winner will Receive a Pizza Party and Extra Recess!
