SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry Science Fair and Greater Syracuse Scholastic Science Fair Participants and Awards

Ed Smith made an unprecedented and very impressive showing at both the SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry Science Fair held on March 14, 2012 in the Carrier Dome and the Greater Syracuse Scholastic Science Fair held at the Oncenter on March 25, 2012. Our students competed against hundreds of other students throughout the district and surrounding suburbs. Their outstanding efforts lead to many awards, prizes and recognition for themselves and our community.

Thanks goes out to Mrs. Clonan, 7th grade science teacher, our Vice-Principal Mr. Armstrong, and our students’ teachers and parents for their support and encouragement.

Congratulations to all our 4-7th grade students who were invited to participate in the Greater Syracuse Scholastic Science Fair (GSSSF) and our 7th grade students who competed in the SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry Science Fair (ESF). You did a terrific job and have made us all very proud:
