Students participate in Byrne Science Fair

On Thursday, April 2, William Byrne Elementary was abuzz with the sound of students excitedly sharing the results of their research and experiments at the school's Science Fair. Nearly 40 students in Grades 3-5 presented on a wide range of topics to visiting judges, among them former staff members, community members and high school students.

"We are so excited to be bringing the William Byrne Science Fair back after over a decade!  It gives students a chance to explore scientific thinking and learn from their experience. Some students may even choose to move on to the regional science fair in Mankato later this month," said Advanced Learning Specialist Sharron Stalock, who organized the event. " When I was asked to coordinate this experience, I gave it a wholehearted "yes" so our students could experience learning enrichment in another way."
