The Science Olympiad Team competed in Regionals on Saturday, March 9th. We only had a team of 10 Olympians (full team is 15) and all the students took on extra work and events to cover our small team in the 23 events on Saturday.  As a team, we placed second in the region!!  This qualifies our team for the States on March 23rd at Auburn University.  There were 8 teams competing in our region on Saturday. Our Olympians received medals in 15 of 23 events! The team did great and all Olympians came home with medals for at least one of their events. HUGE thank you and shout outs to the awesome parents for spending seven months helping the Olympians prepare for this single elimination season.  These medals represent work that started in August!
