Meadow Montessori School has been hosting its annual Science Fair since 1986, with students from kindergarten through eighth grade participating in the event. This year, seventeen students received ribbons at the fair, making it a celebration of learning where students get to share their work and utilize the scientific method for critical thinking.
The only school in the county continuing the tradition of hosting a school-wide science fair, Meadow Montessori has been recognized for its commitment to fostering scientific inquiry and problem-solving skills among its students. The Science Fair coordinator, Meg Fedorowicz, emphasized that the fair is not just about winning prizes but also about encouraging students to think critically and creatively about the world around them.
Four judges reviewed each project presented by the students and awarded prizes to the top three in five different age groupings. The judges included Sarah Howard, Cale Piedmonte-Lang, Stephanie Slat, and Frank Tryrbon. Each student presented a unique and creative project at the Science Fair, showcasing their scientific inquiry and problem-solving skills.
Students who received ribbons in each age group included Zayn LaHart, Jaxton Thurwanger, and Luka Madrid from kindergarten; Calvin Cunningham, Lennon Beamsley, Teddy Felder, Cash Guy, and Maximus Humphreys from first and second grades; Jase Burbo, Etta Manley
