Twenty students from Lynbrook North and South middle schools recently sharpened their problem-solving skills by voluntarily tackling an advanced math challenge, the AMC 8 exam. 

The AMC 8 is an exciting 25-question, 40-minute multiple-choice exam that provides the opportunity for students to develop a love for analytical thinking and mathematics, which can pave the way for future career success. In a supportive and friendly environment, students tackle unique problem-solving challenges using their classroom knowledge.

Covering a wide range of topics from the middle school math curriculum, the AMC 8 includes counting and probability, estimation, proportional reasoning, elementary geometry like the Pythagorean Theorem, spatial visualization, everyday applications and interpreting graphs and tables.

For the second year in a row, Lynbrook middle school students have been selected to compete in this prestigious national exam, showcasing their mathematical prowess. Every participant received a certificate of participation. The district congratulates top scorers Sofia Soroka from North Middle School and Timmy Ezagui from South Middle School. 

From North, talented participants include Devin Georgoulas, Leo Krokoff, Christian Cueto, Marcello Malcangi, Vera Saccone, Lucas Pollin, Shannon Clausen, Owen Ceglie and Sophia Goumennyi. Representing South are Julia Jin, Asher Stukov, Gabrielle Lerner, Sebastian Lerner, Antonio Kret, Rhys Murphy, Matthew Ambery, Audrey Bauer and Kaydie Fine.

South Middle School student Allison Wong recently took home a first-place win from the 2025 IACS Women in Science Challenge!

In Mrs. Gwydir’s 6th grade science class at South, students were presented with an optional Women in Science Challenge through Stony Brook University. The purpose of the challenge was to celebrate the incredible scientific and engineering achievements of women throughout history. Students were given 10 female scientists to study and research. With each scientist, a mini experiment was provided, which students recreated. Each student made a one-minute video highlighting the selected scientist to demonstrate what they learned from completing the famous scientist’s experiment.

This year, Allison Wong, was selected to be one of the 12 finalists to present a speech, as well as her video, to a panel of judges. Allison chose Katherine Johnson as her scientist and her impact on NASA’s space missions. Allison’s hard work and dedication to this project paid off as the judges selected her as the first-place winner for the 2025 IACS Women in Science Challenge. Congratulations to Allison! #OwlProud
