Sue Prince Science Faire highlights great work in Junior High

Last week, our 7th and 8th grade students completed and competed in our middle school science fair. We are proud of each student for testing their hypothesis, researching, gathering and testing data, and presenting to our community. Thank you to Ms. Daly for compiling a team of judges and organizing this evening of higher knowledge and achievement. This year’s awards were presented to:
