widely varying challenges to realize that math is everywhere. Her many
contributions outside the classroom have included coaching basketball,
coaching and officiating field hockey and serving last year as co-chair
of the school district's Middle States Accreditation Team. Last summer
Mac received a fellowship for an Earthwatch project collecting data
