5th week of 4th six weeks

   I would like to thank all of the students who put together a science fair project this year.  I am especially proud of my eighth grade students who with minimal guidance from me produced some of the best science fair projects in Ac2E history.  Even though all of you were not able to participate in the district Science Fair, your work made it possible that eighth grade sent only great projects to compete.  
   I would also like to congratulate all of the students who placed at the District Science Fair.
