SRLA's Science Fair Was Earth-shattering!

St. Rose of Lima hosted its first science fair since our return to in-person education. Grades 5 to 8 were tasked with discovering methods to help life on land while Grades 2 to 4 focused on life under water. Everyone showed such dedication and ingenuity to the scientific process. Kudos to every one of our participants. You are truly an inspiration.

The winners for Grades 5 to 8 are:

First place: Crystelle Clitus, Miguel Cordero, and Ben Cuomo - Ultraviolet Radiation

Second place (tie): Harcourt Lucius II, Lauren Maddox, and Madison Mitchell - The Big Issue, Global Warming

Second place (tie): Megan Griffiths, Christian Herzog, and Jack Radics - The Toxication of Rainwater

The winners for Grades 2 to 4 are:

First place: Lucas Praizner, Dimitri Regis, and Knox Whitaker - Shark Buoyancy

Second place: Ava Benjamin, Reilly Kraus, and Cassidy Ponzo - Rethink Your Drink

Third place: Declan Browne, Elizabeth DiGiacomo, and Joseph Young - Underwater Pollution

Congratulations to our science fair winners!

Thank you to Mrs. Carangelo, Ms. Speckhart, and Ms. Vicari for working so hard with their students. It would not have been a success without their commitment. I would also like to thank the teachers and staff for their support and hard work, Mrs. Underwood for her leadership, our judges, and all of the parents who were able to come see our young scientists.
