1st Annual MVCA Science Fair

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!"
