Last Thursday, March 20, the Transformation Zone Multiplication Bee was held at Alexandria Middle Magnet School, bringing together the top math minds from Rapides Parish School Board’s seven transformation schools: Alma Redwine Elementary, Acadian Elementary, Huddle Elementary, Lessie Moore Elementary, L.S. Rugg Elementary, Martin Park Elementary, and Pineville Elementary.

After competing in classroom and school-wide bees, 21 incredible students from 3rd-5th grade advanced to the final round.

• 1st Place: Jaelynn, a 5th Grader from Acadian Elementary
• 2nd Place: Demontre, 5th Grader from Alma Redwine Elementary
• 3rd Place: Corbin Brown, a 5th Grader from L.S. Rugg Elementary

RPSB thanks the sponsors, Coach Reni Mason (LCU Head Men’s Basketball Coach) and Clay Matchett of Green Payments, for supporting this event. Every student walked away with a T-shirt, personalized backpack, and awesome math materials to keep the learning going.
