PRESS RELEASE

We had so much support with Science Fair! The judges had very flattering things to say about the quality of the projects this year. Several said that many were high school level, and this is the best sampling of work they've seen from the junior high. Overall, it was a huge success! And great job to the 4 sixth graders who placed! Mrs. McAfoos has photos of the winners with their projects. I'll post a video of the awards on my website.
