Superbowl or First in Math?

Hopefully you won't have to make the choice, but I hope that YOUR team emerges as a winner!  For Emerson to move ahead and PASS up the competition in First in Math, we'll need a game plan.  To start with we need to go on the OFFENSE and score as many points as possible.  So regardless of whether you are a Packers fan, a Steelers fan, a HALFTIME fan, or a fan of the superbowl COMMERCIALS, I hope that the kids will still have lots of time on the computer to make sure that the EMERSON EAGLES win! 

Here are the STATS going into the big weekend:
Stickers Earned: 149,396
Average Stickers per Team: 4,819
Math Problems solved: 448,188
Worksheets Saved: 44,819
Teacher Hours Saved: 527

We know that we can easily reach 150,000 and move possibly into the 152,000 range tonight.  Tomorrow in Saturday School, we'll have our FIRST STRING-at least 45 students- all paying the 24 game for at about 3 hours each.  We may be able to reach 155,000 stickers by noon and at 165,000 by the end of the weekend.  That would be about a 10%  gain in one weekend! 

Saturday at noon is kind of like HALFTIME.  I'll send out a COMMERCIAL on my blog to let you know how we are doing.  Hopefully we'll be halfway to achieving success! 

By the time the SUPERBOWL begins, Emerson hopes to have scored 161,000 stickers.  Then we'll be at the TWO MINUTE WARNING.  There will be no time to waste, and IF YOUR TEAM WINS, your student should really pour it on and rack up as many points as possible.  All the fans of the LOSING TEAM may be too sad to play...

When bedtime comes on Sunday night, Emerson should have enough points to pass up at least two other schools in the SUPERBOWL WEEKEND of First in Math.  While you already have a favorite- the PACKERS or the STEELERS- whatever you do, make sure that EMERSON wins in FIM.

Let's go team Emerson!!!
