Story #4 - MathCounts through the Years
/Story #4 is a reflection on SSM’s involvement with the Mathcounts competition throughout the years.
Every year in February, 7th and 8th graders around Berks County compete in the annual MathCounts competition. This regional competition dates back to 1985 when Eric Flicker (a past SSM president) was the original MathCounts coordinator in Berks County. He is photographed holding the check (left).
MathCounts has always been a favorite memory of the SSM team. Over the years we've provided competition coordination, proctoring, oversight, and even donuts! Many years later and SSM still provides volunteers for the local competition.

Continuing the Tradition:
The SSM team continues to support youth in pursuing STEM based learning that makes the world a better place. We love to be involved in community outreach, but especially connecting with the community to enhance the minds and skills of the next generation.
