Archmere math teacher Mrs. Carly Pisani proctored Sophia, Kabir and Alex as they took the exam on campus. The AIME contains 15 questions to be completed within three hours, in which each answer is an integer number between 0 to 999. The questions on the AIME are more challenging than those on the AMC 10 and AMC 12.
Top-scoring participants on the AIME are invited to take the USA Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) or the USA Junior Mathematical Olympiad (USAJMO), which will take place on March 21-22, 2023.
The USA(J)MO competitions put students on the path to potentially qualify for the Mathematical Olympiad Program (MOP), European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO), and ultimately the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
Best of luck to Sophia, Kabir and Alex as they await the results and look to move forward in the competition!

What is Youth Art Month? Youth Art Month is a celebration of the visual arts!
Youth Art Month is an annual observance each year to emphasize the value of art and art education for all children and to encourage support for quality school art programs. It is observed in March, administered by the Council for Art Education (CFAE), with thousands of American schools participating nationally. Often, local art museums and civic organizations are involved in promoting the work.
Youth Art Month not only encourages support for quality school art programs, it promotes art material safety. The program provides a medium for recognizing skills developed through visual arts experiences unlike any other curriculum subjects, including:
- Problem solving
- Creativity
- Observation
- Communication
Art shows, special exhibits, fundraisers, and school and community activities take place annually, traditionally during March, to celebrate visual art education for grades K – 12.
