Port Jefferson Middle School students had an educationally enriching
experience when they participated for the first time in the New York
Mathematics League.
Sixth-graders Emily Ambrozy, Eric Chen, Viviane Kim, Nicholas Smirnov
and Carman Stanton worked as a team and ranked 20 out of 71 schools in
the state on the academically oriented competition, which consisted of a
