Jamie played the violin in the All-State Orchestra and Sandy performed on trumpet with the All-State Band. They earned the spots after numerous rigorous rounds of auditions.

Math Night 2020: Fun in Numbers

It was all about finding family fun in the numbers as Moreland Hills School presented “Math Night 2020" last month. Hundreds of students and their parents and guardians gathered together for a night of math thinking, games and activities. Some of the games included: Set, Four's a Winner, Domino Number Battle and Treasure Hunt. The goal was not only for collaboration that evening but to give families on-going ways to work through various math activities at home. See Photos

No need to keep things C-O-N-F-I-D-E-N-T-I-A-L as 8th grader Anjali Chepyala spelled that final word correctly to win the annual Brady Middle School Spelling Bee! Students in 6th, 7th, and 8th-grades were abuzz with excitement as each of the rounds heated up. Anjali will now go on to represent the Orange Schools at the city-wide Spelling Bee on March 7th in Cleveland with that winner moving on to Washington, DC to participate in the National Spelling Bee in the spring.
