AGAPE's CIS College Algebra through Modeling class WON FIRST PLACE at the UofM Field Day on Tuesday, March 4th! Their presentation was entitled "Million Dollar Baby" and the students used the knowledge they gained from this class (and their amazing teacher, Ms. Voeks!) to estimate the costs related to raising children. Current cost estimation was over $400k, and around the year 2166, a child will cost $1 million dollars to raise!

We are all so proud of you, Asia, Monjue, Keysha, Reina, and Nevaeh! Way to go!
