Science Olympiad



Lauren and Grace are on their school's science olympiad team again this year. They have been working really hard since the end of September and have been preparing for their tournaments.  

On January 2nd of this year, Lauren and Grace got out their Science Olympiad binders and proceeded to spend a few hours daily during their final week of winter break, preparing for the Science Olympiad on January 13th. Instead of playing with their toys, playing games, or meeting up with friends, they studied - hard.  

When school resumed and the SO team had two practices, the duo were ready.  

We got up bright and early on the 13th and drove to a neighboring school. The girls and I arrived at 7:30am, and Skip and George joined us later, after George's 8:00am basketball game. (Yay - they won!)  

They competed in their assigned events, and Grace filled in on the Pasta Transporter event, since she competed in that event last year.  After competing all day, their hard worked payed off during the awards ceremony. Lauren's team won first place for "In Bloom" and third place for "Deep Blue Sea". Grace's team won first place for "No Bones About It" and fifth place for Pasta Transporter.  


















It's always nice when hard work plays off. 

Congratulations, Lauren and Grace, on your much deserved accomplishments!
