SUNSET ELEMENTARY Student selected as finalist in McGraw-Hill EDUCATION “THIS IS MY MATH” STUDENT ART CONTEST Finley Moss, a second grade student at Sunset Elementary School has been selected as a finalist in a national art contest from McGraw-Hill Education. Moss is one of 72 finalists selected from over 2,400 entries that demonstrate what math means to the young artist through sculpture, drawing, painting and photography. McGraw-Hill Education’s “This is My Math” student art contest engaged students in grades K-5 in the real-world use of math outside of the classroom. The community will have the opportunity to vote for Finley’s entry, “MATH IS YUMMY” by going to: http://mymath.shycast.com/?ak=/p/, until November 27th at noon. In order to avoid multiple votes from the same person, voters must sign up before they vote. During this time, the finalists will also be reviewed by a panel of celebrity judges including artists, educators and journalists. The combined scores of the judges and general public will determine the winners, which will be announced on December 5, 2011. The winning students will have their artwork featured prominently on the print and digital components of McGraw-Hill’s newest elementary math program, My Math, and artwork from the 72 finalists will also be displayed. In addition, the winning selections will be displayed at the new Museum of Mathematics when it opens next year in New York City. Teachers and classmates of the winning students will receive nearly $15,000 in fun and functional classroom prizes through the generous support of contest sponsors including Promethean, netTrekker, Psychological Software Solutions, Intel, Texas Instruments, eInstruction, VWR Education/Science Kit, The Math Forum @ Drexel and Crayola.
