Greywolf students and their families spent a fun evening together at Greywolf’s annual Math Night on March 25. Teachers put together math activities and games and students were able to earn tickets to win prizes at the end of the night. A big thank you to Sequim Community Helping Kids for once again donating prizes for the event; they were a huge hit! Greywolf’s PTA coordinated with Westside Pizza to serve dinner to families in attendance and we appreciate their support! Several local businesses donated estimation jars and students with the closest estimates won the jar and its contents! Thank you to Castell Insurance, Sweet Spot Frozen Yogurt, BrokersGroup Real Estate, Kathi Larsen of Evergreen Home Loans, Dungeness Kids Company, Over the Fence, Sequim Animal Hospital, First Federal and the employees of the Clallam County PUD for providing estimation jars!
