I have so many wonderful things to say about our science fair, I don't even know where to begin! I need to start by thanking all the students who submitted a project. I know that completing a science fair project takes a lot of work, and I am THRILLED that so many of our students were willing to participate. I would also like to thank all the faithful lab assistants. As a "lab assistant" of two studetns, I know that completing a science project is time-intensive. I am so, so appreciative of the time you invested in your student(s)' projects. Finally, I would like to thank the judges, PTA volunteers, and staff who really helped make this possible. We were so fortunate to have 6 judges donate their morning to us. Dr. Aaron Schwartz, Mr. Paul Smith, Mrs. Betty Smith, Ms. Kate Strother, Mrs. Kathi Neidlinger, and Mrs. Barbara Mansfield -- thank you for judging the science fair! I know all of the judges were impressed with the work that went into the projects. I also know that all of the judges realized that judging a science fair sounds easier than it actually is.
Before I announce the winners, I need all of the participants to know how very, very proud of them I am. Each and every one of you did such a great job. I know it can be disappointing when you don't take 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, but I hope you all feel accomplished and proud of your hard work. The effort and curiosity displayed in these projects make all of you winners in my eyes.
