science fair

The science fair was on the 22nd. I had a fearless assistant come in to show students and parents fluorescent minerals. There were many different specimens that responded to short and long wave black light; we had them all labeled as to what they were and where they came from, as well as a world map showing where the locality came from as relating to our location.

The students were very enthusiastic in response to the minerals! Of course, seeing something light up like molten lava isn't something you see every day!

And I got a shout out on the district page!!
