Title: Regional Science Fair
By Melissa Pfeifer

 Last Saturday, seven Holy Family Elementary students participated in the 2nd annual FHSU Regional Science Fair. In the end, they all walked away with gold medals! It was very exciting for everyone, especially since this was the first time Holy Family had taken part in the fair.

The seven students formed three different groups. Anna Speno, 4th grader, entered a project about plants under the category of botany. Along with getting gold, she also got the high honor of going on to state in Wichita on March 26th and 27th.

The other two groups, both in sixth grade, had participated in the school fair at HFE earlier in February. Laura Krug, Andrew Hess, and Madi Ginther, who did a project on greenhouse gases in the environmental science category, will also be representing Holy Family at state.

Melissa Pfeifer, Taylor Gabel, and Taylor Dinkel participated in the engineering and inventions category with a project on solar power. Their project, however, fell just short of state.

All in all, everyone thought the science fair was great and already can’t wait till next year!!

Good luck to those going to state!!
