Meadow Montessori School Science Fair Showcases Student Scientific Discoveries and Critical Thinking Skills

In 2024, seventeen Meadow Montessori School students received ribbons in the school’s annual Science Fair. This is a tradition that the school has been holding since 1986, with students from kindergarten through eighth grade participating in the event. The Science Fair coordinator, Meg Fedorowicz, emphasized that the fair is a celebration of learning and provides an opportunity for students to share their work and utilize the scientific method for critical thinking.

The judges awarded prizes to the top three in five different age groupings: kindergarten through first grade; second grade; third and fourth grades; fifth and sixth grades; and seventh and eighth grades. Students who received ribbons in each age group included Zayn LaHart, Jaxton Thurwanger, and Luka Madrid from kindergarten; Calvin Cunningham, Lennon Beamsley, Teddy Felder, Cash Guy, and Maximus Humphreys from first and second grades; Jase Burbo, Etta Manley, and Madison Smith from third and fourth grades; David Schall, Henry Wolbert
