SCHOOL NEWS ROUNDUP A Hoot with Nesbitt On 5 and 6 November 2015, American children’s author, Kenn Nesbitt gave students from grades 2 to 5 a smashing introduction to humor through poetry. He presented workshops for each class that included readings, creative exercises and a lot of fun. Students had a soaring time filled with amusing poems, funny stories, and plenty of tummy licking singing. He had all of them singing along to his poems in no time. A Shower of Awards Middle and high school students who participated in the Math League Competition, in association with Stanford University, the National Science Foundation and the State University of New York at Stony Brook, almost all won prizes. Of the 46 students who took the test, four students won first prize, 14 students won second prize, and 25 students won third prize. Their performance was applauded. The Keystone community hopes they continue to enjoy more number crunching opportunities. 8 THE KEYSTONE MAGAZINE Listen to Their Voices “Loud, young, unique, sharp, and perhaps a little immature.
