The WordMasters Challenge™ is a national competition for students in grades 3-8 that encourages growth in vocabulary and verbal reasoning. Three times each year, nearly 250,000 students from some of the best public and private schools throughout the US participate in the challenge. District 7 participates quite successfully in the challenging Gold Division of this competition, with our grade level teams placing in the top ten in the nation on a regular basis.
The International Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMS) provides opportunities for students to engage in creative problem solving activities while developing a student’s ability

to reason, to be logical, to be resourceful, and occasionally to be ingenious. Each year, five challenging monthly Olympiad contests are held at the Elementary and Middle School levels.
