Science Olympiad Team Build Event Supplies

Funded Sep 26, 2023

Words cannot express our gratitude for the generous donation of supplies for our Science Olympiad Team. This was our second year participating in the Science Olympiad. Our first year we were not able to participate in any of the building events due to lack of funding and supplies. Our Team was beyond thrilled when we were funded and supplies started rolling in. Every student who wanted to participate in a build event was able to. Plus we have some leftover supplies which our team is already using in preparation for next year's Olympiad. It has been a gift that keeps on giving.

Our school is a Title 1 school. About 40% of our students receive a free or reduced lunch. Our school and our team is racially/ethnically diverse and is inclusive of students living in foster care. Our school is also a targeted school for improvement in reading and math. Finding funding for enrichment projects such as a Science Team can be challenging. It is super important for our students and for our community for us to show that we can compete with other less challenged school communities. Our scholars this year took home 5 gold medals, 1 silver medal, and 4 bronze medals and all but one of our scholars placing in at least 1 of the events they entered.”

With gratitude,
