I am so proud of the work our 5th graders did this year! We need a scientific literate society, and these students are going to be leaders in that regard!

This morning twenty-five of our students were able to present their work to science educators from WestRock Recycling, Chattahoochee Nature Center, Cobb County Parks, Cobb County Water, Cobb County Schools, Society of Women Engineers, and Project Lead The Way. The six highest scores are advancing to the district fair in February. They are, in order: Jack E (Blick, 1st Overall), Jack C (Blick), Bryce G (Wender), Paige R (Wender), Devon P (Sweirski) and Eliana R (Stone). Congratulations!
