It was a fun night for science!! The turnout was great and the kids did a wonderful job presenting their findings to our our guests and our three distinguished judges ~ Fred DeRoos, Karen Frederick, and Neva Tirrel. A big THANK YOU to those three for their time and valued expertise. I received an email from one of the judges, a part of which I would like to share, "You have a good group of students. Do whatever you can to keep them interested in science." My response, "I know...and we will!"
