Congratulations Regional Science Fair Participants From Brookwood Elementary! 

sf 1 

The Regional Science Fair was an excellent learning day for our students! They enjoyed 4 break out sessions (insects, robotics, planetarium, and career expo). They all did so well during the interviews with judges, Mrs. Osburn could not be prouder of them.

All 6 kids placed at the fair!! Neil Patram - 2nd, Abigail Wetherington- 2nd, Lauren Gray- 2nd, Rida Merani- 2nd, Isabella Alvira- 1st, and Zane Din- 3rd. It was definitely a learning experience for all of us.
