Studio A Jazz Band

On Saturday, April 25th, our Studio A Jazz Band performed at the Canyon Jazz Festival, and received the highest score and 1st place in the "Heavy" Big Band Division, which is the most advanced high school division.  Their score was the highest for the entire festival.  Additionally, Rancho Pico Jazz Band had the highest score in the Junior High Big Band Division, so there are great things happening across the street as well.

Math Competition Results
Over Spring Break, on 4/19, 6 members of our WR Math Club competed in the Stanford Math Tournament, an approximately 8-hour online event.  The competitors were:
  • Jessica Jin
  • Ian Lee
  • Matthew Poberezhskiy
  • Aaditri Sen
  • Sai Tej Chikati
  • Ajay Saravanan
The award ceremony was yesterday (4/26) and WR came home with the following recognition:
  • Aaditri - Distinguished Honorable Mention on the General Round
  • Team - Distinguished Honorable Mention on the Power Round
  • Team - Honorable Mention on the Team Round
This has been our most successful SMT to date! We are so proud of these students and their dedication and growth. A lot of the math involved in this competition is beyond the scope of our high school standards, so they put a lot of work into being prepared, particularly for the proof-writing portions. Their hard work paid off! Congratulations.
