District STEM Fair

 

District Stem Fair

 Congratulations to the students from 4H (Avery, Rayanna, Danica, Ayden and Tyson) and 7G (Olivia, Tessa and Chloe) who participated in the District Stem Fair. They had a great day and really enjoyed themselves.  

 Blackville students Rayanna Beach, Olivia Donahue, Avery Donahue, Tyson Burns and Danika Mullin tied for top Arcade Game. “Shoot” was a target game that required you to shoot a homemade stationary bow and arrow or use a slingshot to shoot a ball at a 10, 20 and 30 point target. It was a big hit with all who played.

 Chloe Hambrook’s group and Tessa Munn’s group also received honorable mentions for their games as well.

 All students had amazing ideas and really fun games to play!

 A BIG final Congratulations goes out to Rayanna Beach who took home a silver medal in the overall grade 3-5 category for her project “Dancing Wire”.

 WAY TO GO EVERYONE!!!!
