They were good sports and practiced working together as part of a team. We are proud to include the Science Olympiad as part of McGinnis Woods commitment to our STEM programs.

Ms. Anne, Science Olympiad Sponsor said, “It has been my great pleasure to work with these dedicated students (and parents) and I look forward to next year!”
