Math Team member Shirley Zhou just wrote in to share an article:
“I saw this article online and found it an interesting one. It talks about the six fascinating appearances of the Fibonacci numbers in nature. I think it will be an awesome post for our math team blog!”

I recently received from really wonderful information regarding the history of the Williston Math Team from Kathy Connors, class of 1990!
My mother Dr. Mary Ann Connors, who served on the Williston mathematics faculty from 1981-1990, and longtime mathematics faculty member and former department chair Jack Cody co-founded the Williston Northampton School Math Team in 1982. Mrs. Connors and Mr. Cody served as co-advisers of the Math Team in that era.
The WNS Math team participated in meets at host schools with private and public schools in Western Massachusetts (The “Mathletes” – Western Massachusetts Mathematics League “WWML”). During the same time period the WNS Math Team also participated in the New England Mathematics League (NEML) contests.
WNS hosted a WWML meet in April 1988.
Check out these wonderful artifacts that Kathy sent over:
The Willistonian: November 20th, 1987The original Williston Math Team logo! Euler forever!From Kathy: “The Math Team MVP plaque that was displayed in my mother’s classroom in the school house.”
