Posted on 10/11/2023
Two Pfaff Elementary students were recognized on Sept. 14 at the Quakertown Community School District School Board meeting for their outstanding academic excellence. Alyssa Zirkelbach and Diya Patel were the school’s top performers in First in Math, a digital resource designed with focus, coherence, and rigor, that supports the development of fact fluency and computational automaticity in elementary and middle school students. The highest performance tier in the program is "Grand Champion," a title provided to students who earn 10,000 stickers. For Patel, who earned 32,560 stickers and Zirkelbach, 36,564 stickers, their performances tripled that tier. Quakertown students have been dominating the competitive program at the state level as Pfaff Elementary leads all QCSD schools and is 15th in the state and 25th in the nation. William Cammann’s fourth-grade math plus class at Pfaff leads all QCSD classrooms with an average of 19,065 stickers per student.
