Greater Miami Valley Math Circle
o students and parents in the Greater Miami Valley Area,,
Last year, Wright State University spearheaded the launch of the Greater Miami Valley Math Circle. We have instructors from several area colleges and universities, along with private industry, and students and parents from several local schools.
We will begin the 2015-2016 academic year on Saturday August 22 with Student/Parent Orientation. All groups will meet on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of every month from 10:30am-Noon in the Mathematical and Microbiological (MM) Building at Wright State University. Please see the attached sheet for a more detailed schedule. Our math circle has three groups:
· Beginning (suggested grades 5-7)
· Intermediate (suggested grades 7-9)
· Advanced (suggested grades 9-12)—MUST have completed Algebra I or equivalent by time of membership
Highlights from last year include:
· Talks on “The Wonders of Probability” by Dr. Po-Shen Loh, Associate Professor at Carnegie-Melon University and National Lead Coach for the U.S. International Math Olympiad Team.
o The team ranked honorable first place this year after 21 years of missing the honor!
· We hosted the American Mathematics Contest 8th Grade Test for our younger members, an opportunity that most area schools do not offer their students.
o We will continue hosting the Contest this year on Saturday, November 21, 2015.
· Students were invited to participate in the Ohio Mathematics Contest and Physics Test, held every April at Wright State University.
o Scholarships to Wright State are awarded to top scorers!
· Enrichment talks and workshops were given to the Advanced Group by prominent scholars and area teachers once per month.
Math circles are for students who are enthusiastic about learning mathematics and enriching their problem solving skills in creative and innovative ways. For more information, please visit the websites of the following organizations: National Association of Math Circles (http://www.mathcircles.org/), The Math Circle (http://themathcircle.org/), and the Math Teachers’ Circle Network (http://www.mathteacherscircle.org/).

It would be a shame and our loss if we lose this class. We are honored and We are Blessed to have walking, talking and teaching among us a Gem a Living Legend, a Virtual History Book an interactive, living breathing Archive in the body of Ms Margaret Peters. In her class she does not only bring us Dayton's African American History alive through lectures, she also brings other living legends to share their lives with us and she takes us all over the Miami Valley including Wilberforce Annually we attend the Memorial of Paul Lawrence Dunbar at his graveside. We also visit Martin Delany's last resting place in Wilberforce. We have fellow shipped with WW11 Veterans and Tuskegee Airmen. We explore videos of Africans born on the continent and Africans who have and continue to build this country.. We cannot fail ourselves by losing this class. Let us spread the word and invite family and friends. I would love to see more African Immigrants attend this class because it is an eye opener and teaches Africans things that we did not get a chance to learn at home. We learn about our achievements which were buried from us by colonialism. We learn about the accomplishments of People of African descent wherever we are and this pride brings all of us together with joy. I am looking forward to seeing many of you in class. The class is every Wednesday from 9:00 am - 11:30 am There is no anxiety about homework or exams or even attendance or tardiness. The class is held at Northwest Recreation Center (Princeton Park) 1600 Princeton Drive 937-333-3322

Subject: FW: Kindness movie:
Hospice of Dayton is leading the effort to help Dayton become a "Compassionate City". This effort includes many community leaders from numerous sectors (education, healthcare, faith communities, etc.) around Dayton. It is based on the "Charter for Compassion", an international movement to spread compassion around the world. Here is the link to the Charter for Compassion website: https://charterforcompassion.org/ The video of the charter is under the second tab and is worth the 2 minutes it takes to watch it.
As part of our Compassionate Dayton community outreach, Hospice of Dayton is hosting a private showing of the film, "Kindness is Contagious" at the Fairfield Commons Stadium 20 Theatre in Beavercreek. It is located at 2651 Fairfield Commons Blvd, Beavercreek, OH 45431.
We are inviting select individuals and organizations to this event. The showing is scheduled for:
Monday August 24 at 7:30 pm

Subject: The Dwight Anderson Story: From Stardom to Streets, to Survival
The Human Relations Council (HRC) is proud to announce a special screening of The Dwight Anderson Story: From Stardom to Streets, to Survival, with the film’s producer, Branson Wright. The free screening will take place on August 26, 2015 at the Kroc Center (Theatre Room) from 6:00pm-9:00pm and we hope that you will join us!
The Dwight Anderson Story: From Stardom to Streets, to Survival, a story of survival and redemption, tells the emotional and compelling journey of Dwight Anderson, a Dayton high school basketball phenom whose speed, in the late ‘70s, earned him the nickname "The Blur." Wright’s documentary is an important story to explore the consequences and outcomes of choices we make in life. The film serves to aid Dwight's uplifting message about overcoming drug addiction and homelessness with hopes it will become a cautionary tale for all young people.
He and Wright will join the community in a discussion/ reflection following the movie with hopes to engage young people in a conversation on perseverance, leadership, and personal responsibility.
Attached is an overview of the documentary and below is a brief bio of Dwight Anderson.
Please feel free to a share!
Dwight Anderson is considered the greatest basketball player from Dayton. He led Roth High School to the state title as a sophomore in 1975. In 1978, he was the top high school player in the country. He averaged a triple double his senior year. Anderson played for the University of Kentucky and the University of Southern California. He was selected by the Washington Bullets in the 2nd round of the 1982 NBA Draft. Anderson also spent several seasons in the Continental Basketball Association. In 112 CBA games, Anderson averaged 21 points per game. Anderson, the father of two, currently plays in the Old Timers Basketball League and trains youth in basketball.
