Scarsdale and Edgemont Math Students Tie for First Place in County League:
Three Scarsdale students and one from Edgemont tied for first place in the Westchester-Putnam Counties math competitionon Monday March 14. Alan Chung, Dexin Li, and Richard Xu of Scarsdale and Victor Lue of Edgemont won in a four-way tie for the individual title as Westchester-Putnam Mathlete of the Year. In the team results there was also a first ever tie: Edgemont and Scarsdale.
The league is the Westchester-Putnam Interscholastic Math League and there are six meets per year. The sixth and final meet took place at White Plains High School on Monday, March 14. 23 schools, 92 teams and 574 individuals participated this academic year. A team consists of 5 students, so schools may have more than one team.
At the final meet, the teams from all the schools gather together at White Plains High School. For the first five meets, the schools are broken down into smaller local groups. For example, Scarsdale, Edgemont, White Plains, Woodlands and Rye form one group. The meeting place alternates among the schools. Following the meet, individual and team scores are sent to the league head, Lester Roby, who tabulates the standings.
The top students from this league are invited to the New York State Math League competition to be held Saturday, April 9 at Penfield High School in Penfield, NY, a suburb of Rochester.
What does it take to be a math champion? We asked tenth grader Richard Xu a few questions and here is what he shared. "I've been quick in arithmetics since kindergarten, being able to solve simple logical puzzles and do simple additions and multiplications, but I really started learning more mathematics during third grade. I develop my aptitude for math through learning more materials related to it, and over time my knowledge of the subject increases. I prepare for competitions by doing extra problems, and learning how others approach the problems if I cannot solve them. The area of mathematics that interests me the most is combinatorics: graph theory, combinations, counting, probability, etc. I still haven't decided what I want to become for the future, but I hope I'll create something that can benefit our society. I might major in mathematics, or computer science; both fields interest me."
Dexin Li said, "I never thought and I still don't think that I have a talent for mathematics. I still remember in 5th grade I was still adding fractions by adding the numerators and then adding the denominators. Since then, I've just been putting more time into mathematics than my classmates did so I improved faster, which makes it seem like I have a natural aptitude for math.
I usually prepare for math competitions by going over the past tests for that competition. I would do one past test around once a week, go over the answers, and write my score in a notebook so that I could track my progress.
Throughout my years of doing math, I have realized how different competition math is from real math. I've also realized that I don't want to major in pure math in the future. However, I do agree that math is extremely important in almost any major (except the arts like English and History, of course). I find that applied math is more appealing to me, but anything more detailed than that I don't know yet.
I'm in 11th grade. My aspiration for the (far) future is to do something that would benefit our society, which goes back to why applied math is more appealing to me. Pure math is much harder to work on, so I think a lot of passion is needed in order to go down that path."
The Scarsdale team is coached by Laura Estersohn and Edgemont by Rachel Golub. About the students, Esterohn says, "They are a group of students who enjoy problem solving and have a good time being together as a team. The questions they solve reward clever thinking as much as straight-ahead math knowledge." See two sample problems and solutions here.
SMS Mathcounts Stand Out in State Competition
SMS students also performed well at the NYS competition. Math teachers Steven Weise reports that after taking first place in the Westchester/Putnam Mathcounts competition, the Scarsdale Middle School Mathcounts team went to the NY State competition. The team finished in 3rd place. Two Scarsdale students, Eric Wei (number 1 overall) and Deyuan Li (number 4 overall) qualified for the 4-person national team that will represent New York State in the national competition in May. Eric has made the national team 3 years in a row, a tremendous accomplishment.
Here is another sample problem from the high school competition:

Fifteen SHS students accompanied by science teachers, John Neering and Nelson Dasilva traveled to the Dominican Republic to study environmental science over the February break from Feburary 13- 20. The students stayed in a small villages called Jarabacoa and visited a college that specializes in resource management in order to protect the environment.
The goal of the trip was to teach both students and teachers about planting and utilizing earth's natural resources in a way that is beneficial to the environment. Group mentor Mr. Neering stated, "Students worked really hard on the property helping restore natural ecosystems by planting native species and preserving wetlands."
SHS senior, Eliza Auchincloss stated "Every day we would do something different. We weeded, planted, built a bridge, learned how their whole system worked and interacted with the local students. We had to speak in Spanish and my Spanish improved so much!"
The students who traveled on this trip went because they shared an interest in learning about the environment. Both of the teachers who organized and went on the trip are environmental science teachers which allowed the students to learn even more from them.
Overall the students felt that the trip was a great experience that created friendships that will last after the trip. Eliza explained "The hardest part about coming home was not being the with the same fifteen people, because we all bonded super well- there was not one person in the group who would complain or was left out of the group".
Students who went on this trip felt lucky to be able to learn from the students in the Dominican Republic and will be able to integrate the ideas they learned about sustainable living into their daily lives here in New York.

Rhony Sanchez of Yonkers was arrested at his home on Thursday March 3rd and charged with two felonies:
-One count of promoting an obscene sexual performance by a child, which is a d-felony
-One count of possessing an obscene performance by a child, which is an e-felony
According to Deputy Director of Communications for the Westchester District Attorney's office Robert Wolf, the charges relate to having pornographic material on the computer and storing it in a way that it can be shared.
Sanchez worked for the JCC of Mid-Westchester for 12 years, teaching swimming and coaching their swim teams. For the past ten years, during the summer months he worked at Beach Point Club in Mamaroneck where he taught swimming and certified lifeguards.
Sanchez is now free on $25,000 bail posted by a family member and due back in Yonkers City Court on March 11. We asked Wolf whether there was any indication that children at the JCC or Beach Point might have been involved, and Wolf said, "The matter is still under investigation."
Commenting on Sanchez's arrest, Karen Kolodny, the Executive Director of the JCC wrote the following to parents:
The JCC of Mid-Westchester recently became aware that a swim instructor was arrested at his home on Thursday, March 3, 2016. We have been in contact with the Westchester County District Attorney's office and have been advised that at this point they are not aware of any inappropriate acts occurring at the JCC. The JCC is cooperating with this investigation.
The individual involved has been suspended and is not permitted on JCC property.
Our goal, as always, is to make the JCC a safe place for everyone who comes through our doors.
