A Math-a-thon for St. Judes

St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital leads the way in treating cancers in children. One way for kids to help other kids is through their Math-a-thon, now in its 27th year. Here's the deal: the fifth graders have obtained sponsors for math problems completed, they've honed their math skills, and they've taken the test. Now they're collecting their pledges to send to the hospital in Memphis for research and treatment. The test was fun and challenging, in the form of puzzles and games, and the money benefits other kids. That was enough to make St. Gabriels' fifth grade kids want to sharpen their pencils for a good cause.
