CAPISTRANO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT MIDDLE SCHOOL MATH CHALLENGE 

We are pleased to once again partner with the Capistrano Unified School District on the 16th annual "Middle School Math Challenge".  Each year, hunderds of middle school students attend this event, keeping track of various game statistics while cheering for the Anteaters.  Volunteers score papers during half-time and the winners are announced in the second half of the game.  All participating students receive extra credit in their math class for participating in this event.

If your child is a middle school student in the Capistrano Unified School District, please read on for information about tickets, forms and other game day details.  We look forward to seeing you on Feb. 4 at the Bren Events Center.  Zot, Zot, Zot!
