Our 7th and 8th grade science fair winners have just been announced! With the amount of creativity and hard work that was put into this year’s presentations, it proved extremely difficult to decide what projects would receive top honors this year. After a careful and arduous deliberations process, the Nysmith science fair judges have made their decisions.
