Longview, Texas (KETK) The first annual Pine Tree Middle School Campus Science Fair was hosted on January 31, 2014 under the direction of Mrs. Galyean.

"All 5th grade students were invited to participate," said Galyean. "And 46 students stepped up this first year. I am truly proud that so many of our 5th grade students got involved. They worked diligently on their projects and were ready and anxious to make the presentations for the judges."

To enter, students were asked to have parent permission and to enter a project that fit into one of the assigned categories, which included: Physical/Chemical, Biological, Behavioral, and Inventions. Students created their projects on their own with some help from home.

The Science Fair was set up in the Pine Tree Science Lab.

Students prepared their projects for judging that morning, and the judging began at noon.

The winners were announced at the end of the day after a parent viewing from 2:30-3:30 p.m. on campus.

The 2014 Campus Winners:

1st Place: Brandon Krenick- " Do Dogs Have a Paw Preference?" (Behavioral)

2nd Place: Zoe Green- "The New Mailbox" (Invention)
