This spring, Green Vale's 4th and 5th Graders joined more than 40,000 students from 816 schools across the country in the Noetic Learning Math Contest (NLMC)—one of the largest math competitions for elementary and middle school students in the U.S.
Designed to strengthen problem-solving skills and foster a love of mathematics, the NLMC challenges students to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to creative and complex problems. The contest aims to build stronger thinkers and prepare young learners for future success in STEM.
Top performers across the country are recognized in two categories: National Honor Roll, awarded to the top 10% of participants, and National Honorable Mention, awarded to the top 50%. Team Winners represent the highest-scoring students from each participating group.
This year, several GVS students earned national honors for their performance:
Jackson S. (4th Grade) Ben J. (5th Grade) – Team Winner & National Honor Roll
Alice M., Liam C., Madison S., Patrick E., and Myles K. (4th Grade) Emma L., Asher B., Niam G., Julia M., and Brooke P. (5th Grade) – National Honorable Mention
Participating in a national contest of this scale is no small feat. In addition to their mathematical skills, our students demonstrated focus, perseverance, and a willingness to take on new challenges—qualities we hope to see grow both inside and outside the classroom.
Congratulations to our mathletes and their teachers for this exciting achievement.
