Earlier in May, ACS Athens hosted the International Kangaroo Mathematics competition for the first time, an event that was completed on Saturday, May 22.
As a hosting center, ACS Athens welcomed 190 students from grades 1- 12 to this competition which aims to promote mathematics as a subject approachable to anyone, encouraging students to develop their problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
In the International Kangaroo Mathematics competition, a distinction is earned for the highest student performance; at a national level, one in six participants at the national level earns a distinction.
All ACS Athens students taking part in the competition received a gift package for their participation at school.

Ms. Maria Falidas, Division Chair Mathematics at ACS Athens, commented:
"I am moved by the response of our community in supporting the competition and registering students to participate. We had 190 participants across three schools with 150 elementary school students grades 1-5. In addition, 10 of our elementary students scored at the top of their level nationwide. Congratulations to all. I am hoping that next year we will be able to host the competition at our campus with a day-long celebration of Mathematics! I want to thank Kangaroo Hellas and Mr. Lambrou for an exceptional collaboration in administering the competition."
ACS Athens congratulates all students for their participation in this unique celebration of Mathematics!
