Congratulations Roo!

Who ever thought that a Science Project titled: "Germs Eek!" could win at the Science Fair!
We are so proud of Roo, as she got 3rd place in her grade in the Science Fair. She will now be able to present her project at Texas Tech's Science fair sometime in February. She worked very hard on the project! She wanted to find out which of the two fifth grade class room environments had the most germs. She used class records from both teachers, as well as a few petrie dishes with swabs from the walls and such and was able to determine that the "other" 5th grade class had the most kids that got sick as they had more germs!
Now, this might not be something that a Pulitzer prize winner would do, but we are waiting to see if she will take this in a new direction next year and come up with some antidotes.
For now, Congratulations Roo!
