4th Annual Maria Montessori Science Fair Results
Our Science Fair this year was wonderful success. For those of you who had the opportunity to visit the Fair during our Open House, you would have seen many interesting projects and all the hard work the students put into them. We had 185 projects this year! It was a great learning experience for all. We are also very proud of our sixth and seventh graders who went on to compete at the regional Ritchey Engineering and Science Fair.
