Private School Students Participate in Science OlympiadIt was an exciting competition concluding a long season, and although we did not bring home the top prize, our students learned valuable lessons and are more confident learners. 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!”
