On Wednesday, April 18, Deerfield hosted the 7/8 Regional Math Meet at St. Paul’s Liberty Lutheran Church’s Education Hall. School districts take turns hosting this yearly competition sponsored by the Greater Dane County Talented and Gifted Network. This year Deerfield’s 7/8 competitors were Belleville, Lake Mills, Cambridge, New Glarus, Fall River, and Poynette.

Deerfield’s team members consisted of four 7th graders--Alexis Erickson, Elizabeth Johnson, Jessica Jacobs, and Calista Wery-- and four 8th graders--Brenda Moe, Drew Nelson, Savannah Wery, and Jordan Winkler.  While they didn’t place first or second in order to qualify for the Mega Math Meet, the team battled hard and tied Poynette for fourth place in the meet.
