Westside Elementary Science Fair

We believe in public education!  To show our support, several members of the River Falls Area Retired Educators' Association served as judges at the Westside Elementary School's annual science fair. on March 23, 2017.  They were Evelyn Johnson, Bonnie Jones-Witthuhn, Lesley Williams, and Laura Zlogar.

More than 70 projects were submitted this year created by children from first to fifth grades.  The children's creativity and knowledge were impressive.  Projects ranged in topics from volcanoes to penguins to electricity to ladybug life cycles to the necessity of cupcake ingredients. They were all quite impressive.

Entering the fair was completely voluntary, and all of the projects were completed on the children's own time.

Those of us involved had fun, encouraging the children, and learning lots of new things ourselves.
