The team (Dean Deng, Lawrence Lim, Michelle Chan, and Glenn Yu) finished in 2nd place at the 2011 MATHCOUNTS Manhattan Chapter Competition held on Saturday February 5 at NYU. They will advance to the MATHCOUNTS State Competition on March 19 at RPI.
Naomi Sweeting won the 9th place Individual trophy and she will also advance to the State Competition.
Four Hunter students qualified for the fast-paced Countdown Round, at times competing against one another. They were Cheyenne Hua, Kimberly Huang, Lawrence Lim, and Naomi Sweeting. After four rounds of intense competition, Naomi finished in 2nd place and Cheyenne finished 4th. They both brought home trophies for their accomplishment.

UNDER THE SPELL
On January 25, two HCHS seventh-graders, Maya Bernstein and Miles Shebar, placed in the top seven of the Daily News Manhattan Spelling Bee. Miles took home the second-place trophy (his last word was anaphylaxis; the winner's was recipe!). Both spellers will now compete in the city-wide bee finals, which will take place March 10th and 11th here at Hunter.
We wish them luck!
Civis Femina Interest Meeting
Monday, 5th Period, Room 320.
"Securing women's rights is central to all our hopes for peace, security, and sustainable development."- UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon
"Excellence without humanity is worthless."- Harold Koh, former dean of Yale Law School. Connect these two ideas together. So many women around the world are deprived of even the most elementary education, but instead are plunged into domestic violence, forced marriages, death in childbirth, and war rape, etc. Civis Femina seeks to empower girls in their young ages to step up and use the power of their education to bring beautiful change to the lives of women that are less privileged. COME AND JOIN US! Contact our club at hunter@civisfemina.org for more information.
