On Wednesday, December 7th, ABSS held its annual Science Fair at the Vailtree Convention Center in Haw River. Student projects from Elementary, Middle, and High Schools were on display for judging. The projects were selected at the school level for their incorporation of unique ideas, the scientific method, research, and presentation.
Following a time for visitors to view all the projects and ask the students questions, there was a ceremony recognizing participants and winners. Each student came on stage to say their name, school, and project title. For each division (Elementary, Junior, and Senior) winners were then announced. Students came forward to receive a medal and message of recognition from Superintendent Dr. Dain Butler, Board Vice Chair Ryan Bowden and Dr. Charles Parker.
To all participants, thank you for your hard work. We are proud of your accomplishment. To families, thank you for supporting and encouraging these students as they completed their project. And to teachers, thank you for setting them up for success. Congratulations to the following:
