Young science stars

I had the pleasure of judging the Science Fair at Granby Elementary School. Not expecting much, I was greatly surprised when I walked into the gymnasium to see more than 70 science fair projects, starting with class projects of kindergarten through second grades to individual projects of the upper grades.

My amazement continued as I reviewed and judged each proposal. The experiments and their descriptions quickly expressed students’ depth of understanding of scientific principles.

The fun parts of the process poked through with displays of snapshots and drawings.

None of this could have happened without the inspiration and enthusiasm of the administration and teachers at Granby Elementary. I especially want to applaud Assistant Principal Kathy Verhappen and Science Lead teacher Kim Bonay who, despite their busy schedules, were able to organize the fair and help other participating teachers.
