Science Fair in Sandy Lake

Erupting volcanoes, magnetic magic and plastic milk were just a few of the amazing displays put on by the students of Thomas Fiddler Memorial Elementary School (TFMES).
This past week the ‘mini scientists’ of TFMES were given an opportunity to show off their skills and hard work during the schools’ first Science Fair. Over sixty students from kindergarten to Grade 6 participated in the fair, ranging from full class projects in the primary grades to partner/individual projects in the junior grades.
The students spent countless hours both in the classroom and after school, perfecting their experiments and displays. All of their hard work paid off and they were able to put on quite an impressive display for the community.
Most of the students were awarded for their efforts and participation in the fair and received prizes such as iPods, bikes, portable DVD players, toys and gift cards. The top prizes for each division were as follows:
Grade 6- Brianna Goodman and Tiarra Fiddler (Got Plastic Milk?)
Grade 5- Serenity Kakegamic and Salio Bekintis (The Power of Pop)
Grade 4-Chastity Fiddler and Torrance Fiddler (Butterflies)
Grade 3- Tyreese Goodman-Jenkin and Armand Kakepetum (The moon and earth)
All participants in the fair were entered into a raffle for new bikes and the lucky winners were Wyette Crowe, Cherish Fiddler, Corissa Harper and Creedance Meekis.
As coordinator of the Science Fair, I want to thank all of the students for their hard work and participation. As well as the managers and staff of The Sandy Lake Northern for doing the tough job of judging all the projects. All in all, it was a very successful event and a fun couple of days!
