Please read Orange County Math Circle, A Service Learning Project by Dr. Michelle Muratori of Johns Hopkins University to learn more about its history. |

Dear Friends,
The 2010-2011 Orange County Math Circle programs are in full-swing. We held our first Student Council meeting and the first AMC 8 practice session a few weeks ago. Our Santa Ana Math Club program will be formally launched October 23, in coordination with Mrs. Jasmina Matasovic and Mrs. Nita Walker of the Santa Ana School District. We hope you can join us to share the joy of learning--as a participant, a volunteer, or a supporter.
Thanks so much!
Johnny Li
