Our fifth graders, as well as a few third and fourth graders, participated in the Monroeton Science Fair today! There were so many amazing science projects! There were several creative and innovative projects, but five students were chosen to move on to the District Science Fair. Congratulations to the following students from each category:

Chemistry- Maddison Marshall, “How Many Drops Till it Pops?”
Engineering- Kendall Smith, “Stanley vs. Yeti?”
