This comes to us from David DeLade, the Director of K-12 Science:

After an exciting weekend of science at the North Carolina Science and Engineering Fair, I am pleased to share that all ten students representing our district did an outstanding job presenting their science fair projects. 

Please help me congratulate the following students who won/placed during the state competition at N.C. State University.

Elementary Division

Elementary Exemplary Award

Jack Stieber - Southwest Elementary School 

Senior Division

Biological Sciences A: Honorable Mention 

Riyan Careathers - Atkins High School

The student's road to the state competition began by advancing at their local school's science fair to our district fair, then advancing at our WS/FCS district science fair to Region 5, then advancing from the regional 5 science fair to states.

I am proud of the students who represented WS/FCS and all their hard-work and dedication to a lifelong love of science.

Jessica Petree teaches third grade in the HAG (Highly Academically Gifted) program at Southwest Elementary.

Here are some of the things her students had to say:

Trey Crews: “It’s been a lot of fun. I like seeing what kind of places people see every day. We see some of the same things every day but most of them are different.”

Caroline Hawkins: “I’ve learned about a lot of different places.” 

Emma Sayers: “I learned about a lot of different places. At first, I thought that just the big cities were important, but then I looked around and saw a lot of monuments and other places. I thought big cities like Chicago and Los Angeles had all the cool stuff.”

James Tuttle: “I learned that sometimes what you think isn’t always the right decision and people can have different lives than you.”
