Nine Students Win Awards at the 2008 Synopsys Science and Technology Championship

The School Science Fair was fantastic. The 6th and 8th grades did exemplary scientific work. And the 4th graders not only demonstrated superb intellectually investigative skills, they also did an outstanding job with their oral presentations. The WCEA/WASC Committee was so impressed with the Science Fair. We sincerely thank Mrs. Wicht and Ms. Roemer for all of their hard work in preparing our students for this excellent learning experience. In addition 14 students entered the county science fair and 9 students won awards.
