A Portola Middle School team placed among the top five area schools in the annual MathCounts competition at UC Berkeley Saturday, according to an article on the Go Portola website.

Portola student Gwennie Gilbert-Snyder also finished in the top five among individual competitors, which qualifies her to represent Portola Middle School at the California State MathCounts Competition in March, the article says.

Nineteen area middle schools took part in the competition.

Dorothy, is that the shelter near the Berkeley Historical Society/Veteran's Building? Perhaps he would need a ride to it.

Lucy, I like the idea in principal, but in reality I think it would just give ECPD more work to do.…Read More "People hanging out" doesn't necessarily translate to a friendly,fun-filled, folksy kind of environment. It *can* mean quite the reverse. "Midnight On the Ohlone" sounds like a new recording. Something like "I left my little babeeeeee, down by the tracks....and now I want her back....she's a needle in the haaaaaaay staaaaack...' Arhoolie awaits.

Instead of spening a big amount on one…Read More (which we don't have space anyway), I would like to see many mini parks of $20,000 along the Bart tracks. With more visibility and people hanging out, it would make Bart paths safer too, especially the one around fairmont park. Really mini pocket parks just needs some play structures, benches and tables there.
