Andrew Brahms

Andrew is finishing his 4th grade year at Primoris Academy in Westwood.  This year he joined the Robotics team, Destination Imagination Team and the Math team.  He recently participated in the state Math League championship and was the 4th grade champion.   His team also took 3rd place in the team event.   Math League is an organization that hosts math competitions around the country.  The elementary division includes grades 3-6.   To qualify for the state competition, students had to place in the top 20% for their grade in a qualifying competition.  Andrew, along with his teammates, is headed to the national finals at Texas A&M University on June 24.  The top 10 students in every grade qualified for the national competition.  In addition, we just were informed that Andrew was a winner in the Math Kangaroo competition as well.  Andrew's other interests include piano and gymnastics. 

Andrew still thinks of Westmont often.  He fondly recalls the stamp game and binomial and trinomial cubes that gave him his start in mathematics with Mrs Sandrue, Mrs. Kahlon, Mrs. Hoeferer, Mrs. Brodgesell, and Mrs. Thiesse.  He never misses an opportunity to visit his favorite teachers and friends.
