The Connetquot High School mathematics department is proud to announce that four of its juniors, Declan Doran, Madison Holzmacher, Michael Ibraham and Elaine Wang, took on the challenge of solving complex real-world problems as part of the prestigious MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge, also known as the M3 Challenge.

The competition tasks students with using mathematical modeling to address real issues facing the world today. This year’s topic was, “Staying Cool as the World Heats Up”. Though their submission did not advance to the final round or earn a formal award, the students received thoughtful and encouraging feedback from the judges, a testament to their effort, creativity and analytical thinking.

“These students went all in with just a little bit of independent preparation,” said team adviser Mr. Dolce. “They worked hard, supported each other and showed incredible perseverance. I am just so proud of them. They absolutely deserve every bit of praise coming their way.”

The M3 Challenge, sponsored by MathWorks and organized by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, is a highly respected competition that attracts thousands of high school students nationwide each year. Participants must work in teams under time pressure to come up with viable mathematical solutions to problems.

Congratulations to Declan, Elaine, Madison and Michael for stepping up to the challenge and representing Connetquot High School with excellence!

Connetquot’s 14th annual Library Literacy Celebration

The Connetquot community came together for an evening of reading, writing and student achievement on April 10 at the district’s 14th annual Library Literacy Celebration, presented by the district’s library media specialists.

The event showcased an impressive collection of student work from every school in the district, including original poems, stories and essays. Hallways were transformed into literary galleries, highlighting students’ talent in reading and writing.

Families also joined in the fun through a bookmark-making station and a scavenger hunt in which students uncovered letters around Connetquot High School that spelled out a secret word. The Connetquot Public Library also held a raffle drawing for attendees.

A standout moment of the evening was a special reading by student-author Meghan Miller, a junior at Connetquot High School, who shared her published children’s book, “The Great Adventures of Martha Mae”. Inspired by her real-life pet hamster, Martha Mae, the book began as an assignment in her ninth-grade children’s literature class and was completed in a sophomore creative writing course. Meghan detailed her two-and-a-half-year journey to publication in a question-and-answer session after the read aloud. The evening culminated in a book signing, where excited young readers lined up to meet Meghan and have their copies of “The Great Adventures of Martha Mae” personally signed by the author.
