Mrs. Nelson is the one who found, and shared it with our team. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Mrs. Nelson it is a great math strategy to learn.

Did you know that Amazon will donate a percentage of purchases to a charity? POQA has set up our school to receive donations. Here’s how it works:
- Visit: smile.amazon.com
- Log in
- Choose: Quest Academy Inc (make sure it is the West Haven, Utah one)
- Use Amazon the way you usually do. It will now say below the search bar “Supporting: Quest Academy Inc”.
- In the future instead of going to amazon.com, you can use smile.amazon.com
- Thank you for supporting our school!
