2008 County History Data and Science Fair Competitions
During the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, March 8th and 9th, ISM students in 5th, 6th, and 8th grades participated in County competitions; 5th graders in the Monterey County History Day
competition coordinated by the Lyceum of Monterey County and the
Monterey County Office of Education, and 6th and 8th graders in the
2008 Monterey County Science Fair also sponsored by the Monterey
County Office of Education.
We are thrilled to announce that ISM students took top honors in both
competitions and once again, positioned ISM as one of the County's
highest achieving schools -- public or private -- in competitions
dependent on inquiry, research, project boards, and presentation!
We congratulate all of the participants for their hard work and
efforts.
We would especially like
to highlight the competition winners below:
