THANK YOU!
Like last year, this school year presented new and daunting challenges to over come. After 2 years of not having an in-person fair, its easy to forget how hard it is to take 26 of our brightest minds on an adventure where they get to showcase their amazing work over three days. That doesn't happen without an amazing team. A huge thank you goes out to Karen Getty Stewart (Pasco PEPS), Branden Anglin (WRHS) and Daniel Ambritz (Pasco PEPs), for tirelessly supporting the State Delegates for the fair and all the work that goes into getting them ready to compete. Another thank you to Maria Emerick (OLL) for all the behind the scenes work in getting everything organized and paid for. To the Pasco Education Foundation for continuing to support and fund the science fair in Pasco schools. Thank you to Lesley Kirkley and the science team for continuing to push quality science education in our schools. Thank you to Superintendent Browning, Vanessa Hilton and the amazing Assistant Superintendents that support what we do. Thank you to our distinguished School Board Members. To the parents of these AMAZING students, thank you for all you do to support their endeavors. I am confident they will make out future brighter and better. Finally, to our director of OLL, Lea Mitchell, for everything you do to support science for our schools, for us, and most importantly for our students!
