According to Ms. Christina Phyall, NCSS Elementary Curriculum & Instruction Specialist, the district’s first place winners will represent Newton County Schools in the Georgia College and State University Science and Engineering Fair in March.
“Congratulations to each of our science fair winners,” said Dr. Penny Mosley, Director of Elementary Schools for NCSS. “A lot of time and effort goes into researching and conducting science experiments for each project, so I commend the students for taking the time to participate. Our students conducted some very high caliber experiments so I know our first-place winners will represent Newton County School System well in the State Science Fair.”
