Georgetown Jr. - Sr. High School Conducts
Annual Science Day

Perianne Germann , Georgetown


Georgetown Jr. - Sr. High School will conduct its Science Day on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 in the high school gymnasium. The gym will be open Tuesday after school, from 3:00 until 6:30, for the students to set-up their projects. The public is invited to visit on Tuesday at that time. Approximately 175 students, 6th through 12th grades will present their science projects for judging on Wednesday morning. This year, for the first time, the top 6th graders will compete at the high school.

The public is also invited to review the projects following the completion of the judging, from 1:30 until 2:30, on Wednesday. At approximately 2:30, the “Best of Category” and “Best of Show” will be announced and they will receive their trophies. Parents who are assisting with taking projects home are welcome to stay.

Student projects receiving a “Superior” rating are invited to participate at the District Science Day to be held at Wilmington College, Wilmington, Ohio, with the possibility of State competition at the Ohio State University. Our judges are volunteers from the local community. Mrs. Sue Bergren, Science Day Coordinator, Mrs. Sherrill Cowdrey, Mrs. Frankie Scott and other members of the Academic Committee have met with the science department faculty to continue improving our Science Day. The Learn and Serve class volunteers will assist with the conduct of Science Day. Additionally, teachers from the English, math and art departments have been available to assist the students with their projects.
