HONOLULU, HAWAII – Sacred Hearts Academy is hosting a free Math Power workshop on Saturday, January 28, 8 a.m. – 10 a.m.  The workshop is open to girls, junior-kindergarten (age 4) to grade 4.  The goal of the workshop is to empower girls at an early age for math success and to inspire parents on how best to help their daughters succeed.

Parents attending the workshop will participate in a session “Mathematics in the 21st Century” led by Mary Pat Sjostrom, Chaminade University Professor of Mathematics, while their daughters enjoy hands-on classes designed to make math practical and fun.  Parents will learn how math has changed in today’s classroom and what they can do at home to encourage achievement.
