Nightingale students took on Southern California in the MESA competition in March 26, 2011. MESA (math and science engineering) is an afterschool program where students train for competitive events of intellect. Students have been training since the early beginning of the school year. MESA students have competed for medals and other awards. They were coached by our own Mr. Meyerhof.
There were many categories in MESA. In the math categories, there are self exams for geometry, algebra, and pre-algebra. In the science engineering categories, there are mouse traps, gliders, bridges, windmills, and the egg drop. Nightingale students walked out of the MESA building with over 30 medals. They will have a beach trip later this year.
As a school, we are very proud to have these students represent Nightingale Middle School in such high-class. We hope for next year that MESA will succeed the older members and follow similar results.
