Two TJSS students took home 3rd place awards in regional academic competitions: 7th grader Gabriela Carrasco in Mathematics, and 11th grader Facundo Mella in History.
Gabriela won 3rd Place in the 7th-grade division at the 15th Inter-School Math Olympiad hosted by Universidad del BĂo-BĂo, a prestigious tournament drawing top students across the BiobĂo, Ă‘uble, AraucanĂa, and Maule regions.
Meanwhile, Facundo earned 3rd Place in the Historical Research Category at the 2nd Thought, Words, and Images Contest organized by the Faculty of Humanities and Arts at Universidad de ConcepciĂłn.
Facundo’s research project, titled “Chile and World War I: French-Chilean Volunteers,” takes a transnational perspective to analyze the identity, social, and cultural factors that inspired French descendants living in Chile to travel to Europe and fight on the front lines of the Great War (1914–1918).
Huge congratulations to Gabriela and Facundo for their remarkable talent and dedication! Their achievements bring great pride to the entire Jeffersonian community.
