Ignite Learning Academy (ILA), a fully accredited online private school, celebrates two students who recently represented the school as they competed in Chicago, Illinois as a part of the MathCon finalist competition.

This year’s MathCon competition saw more than 25,000 students compete from 36 different states, and only 617 students were invited to attend the national competition in Chicago on April 30th, 2022, based on their exemplary first-round test score. Ignite Learning Academy had four students qualify, and two were able to make the trip: Cameron Morgan and Walt Wehrman. Since MathCon’s inception in 2008, more than 300,000 students have participated.



Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant (the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter) which is approximately 3.14159. Pi Day is an annual opportunity for math enthusiasts to recite the infinite digits of Pi, talk to their friends about math, and eat pie.

Emily Reicherts, the mother of one of our incredible Ignite students, penned this essay on motherhood which was officially published earlier this month. We suspect many of our parents can relate to her words and wanted to share them with our school community as well.
 

Medium shirt, size 7-8. Two long creases, folding the arms across, then fold in half...

The problem with laundry is it is never-ending. I could work all day, washing, drying, folding and someone still thinks they need to change. Day clothes into pajamas. Pajamas into day clothes. For the love of feeling accomplished, can we just all stay in the same clothes for a few days? My suggestion was met with giggles and grins like I was kidding. This mundane task of motherhood marks hours of unpaid labor.
