Twenty middle school students and two high school students traveled to OSU on March 6 and 7 to participate in the Oklahoma State Science and Engineering Fair. To attend the state fair, they had to qualify at the Regional Science Fair held at NEO in January. Seven of our students placed and an additional six students received special awards. As always, we are beyond proud of all of our students' accomplishments.
Thank you to our science teachers and Science Fair Coordinators, Mrs. Deason and Mr. Fleming for guiding our students throughout this process and for taking them to Stillwater; along with Mrs. Woods, Nurse Shannon Johnson, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Sheryl Fleming, and Mrs. Vanessa Byers for traveling with the students.
Additionally, we appreciate GEFEE, Rotary, and community members for your continued support of our science department at GMS.
