A Lansing Middle School student recently won highest honors in this year's WordMasters Challenge, a national language arts competition entered by over 230,000 students annually, which consists of three separate meets held at intervals during the school year.
Competing in the difficult Blue Division of the Challenge, fifth grader Kathryn Miller earned a perfect score in the year's second meet, held in February. In the entire country only 96 fifth graders earned perfect scores. Fifth graders William Lewis and Elena Gupta also achieved outstanding results in the school's second meet. At the seventh grade level, Lucy Rogers also achieved outstanding results in the year's second meet. The students were coached in preparation for the Challenge by Cathy Moseley.

Dear IMO,
I'm a bit confused about Easter this year. It seems earlier than I ever remember it. Just how do they calculate the date for Easter?
Sincerely,
Katie
Dear Katie,
If you are celebrating Easter according to the Gregorian Calendar than your Easter is very early, March 23, but if you are celebrating Pascha (the Eastern Orthodox term for the feast) according to the Julian Calendar than the date is April 27. It's rather complicated, and this could turn into a full seminar on Church History. For the sake of brevity, permit me to condense 2,000 years of history into a few paragraphs.

Maundy Thursday is the feast on the Thursday before Easter commemorating the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles. This year a group at Lansing United Methodist Church is reenacting the fateful supper in Methodist Pastor Ernest K. Emurian's play 'Lord Is It I?' "He took Leonardo da Vinci's picture of the Last Supper and he created the play so that the set is the upper room as da Vinci painted it," explains director Judy Hinderliter. "Then you have the table in the front of the set, and the disciples sit in the poses as da Vinci painted them. They're all frozen in their position, and after Jesus says 'One of you will betray me,' each one in turn reflects on, 'Is it I, Lord.'"
Hinderliter first saw the play at her daughter's Maryland church, where it has become an annual tradition. Her son-in-law has played Peter in that production for ten years. "I was just touched by the power of the play," she says. "I was determined that when I retired that I'd never give up theater, and I would do that here."
