• Thank you to everyone that made the 2015 Worthington Science Day a huge success.  A big thank you to all of the volunteers, judges, parents and student participants, you all made Science Day exciting, interesting and a fabulous event.
     
    Although it was best to cancel the awards ceremony due to the severe weather, it was disappointing to not be able to congratulate all of the students in person.  We will do our best on this web page to share the results and acknowledge the top projects and Design Challenge teams.
     
    Award winners will have a letter sent to their teacher which will include the details on how to claim your award. 
     
    Students in grade 5-12 earning a rating of "Superior" are eligible to participate in the regional science day at Columbus State Community College.  Eligible students received information with their certificates regarding the details of this next level.
