Awards were presented to a 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and Honorable Mention winners at each campus for the three grade levels.
“Each of these winners were taken to Wylie East High School to compete against the winners from each of the campuses,” Halligan said. “We had district curriculum staff judge each of the projects using a rubric that evaluated their use of the scientific method.”

The 2nd place winners included Natalie Parra, Whitt Elementary; Laurie Ann Wilson, Smith Elementary and Kinley Clark, Harrison Intermediate.
