Middle School Scientists Excel at Regional Olympiad

The Middle School Science Olympiad team proudly brought home the second place trophy from the Camden Community College Regional Tournament, held this past Saturday, January 9. In addition to their team win, each team member also won at least one ribbon or medal – an outstanding effort which paves the way for participation in the State Tournament. “A true sense of team work and support from our parent chaperones helped to make the day a great experience for all!,” says Betty Williams, Middle School Science teacher and team advisor.
