Students excel in state science competition
Catholic school students took home a medal.
Catherine Hanley, our Flagstaff correspondent, sent us the Arizona Science and Engineering Fair‘s results for San Francisco de Asís students. They faired rather well.
The March 21-24 event was open to all schools within the state with judging at the elementary, junior and senior levels. The complete winners list is available here, but it only mentions names and not schools and appears to still be the 2008 list (at least for now).
All 12 San Francisco de Asís students emerged as winners, Hanley said. The school’s faculty joined Fr. Patrick Mowrer, pastor, in a special recognition after Mass March 25.

One Comment so far ...
Our staff got word late last week that students at Sacred Heart School in Prescott did well at the Northern Arizona Regional Science Fair. Five of the 10 students who qualified placed at the regional level. They were third graders Mary Kayser, Cameron MacKenzie and Grace Barett; fourth grader Sarah Nguyen and eighth grader Melissa Martinez. MacKenzie’s project, “Does Your Shirt Protect You from Harmful UV Rays?” won overall Best in Fair.
On a related note: four sixth- and seventh-graders placed second as a team in the Math and Science Olympics at Embry-Riddle University’s Prescott campus.
