Carnival Proves Math is Fun

On May 15, the Kelly Center and turf playground were transformed into a carnival, complete with games, music, cotton candy, funnel cakes, balloons and prizes. But this wasn’t just any carnival, it was the fifth annual Lower School Math Carnival. Wearing clothes that featured shapes and numbers (Ravens and Orioles jerseys were popular), children spent their time playing a variety of carnival games with an arithmetic twist. From kindergarten to fourth grade, students had as much fun doing calculations as playing the games and enjoying the carnival atmosphere. The daylong fest was coordinated by Math Specialist Regina Karwacki and staffed by more than 80 parent volunteers.
