| St. Perpetua School's 11th annual science fair was held on February 3rd and was hosted by the Jr. High students (grades 6-8). This hands-on exposition featured exhibits and experiments designed with the future scientist in mind. "Our goal is for the Junior High students to be able to showcase their efforts. This event provides opportunities for students to become personally and directly involved in scientific investigation" said Karen Goodshaw, St. Perpetua School Principal. Three winners from each grade were awarded first, second and third place ribbons and were honored at a school luncheon hosted by the Jr. High Science Teacher, Natalie Deininger. The top projects from 7th and 8th grade went on to compete in the Oakland Diocesan Science Fair which was held on February 12th. Hayley Miller and Bella Penza were both awarded Grand Champions within Behavioral and Biological Science. Cannon Armistead and Grace Southwick were honored as finalists for Engineering and Biological Science respectively. These four students will compete at the San Francisco Bay Area Science Fair on March 30th representing St. Perpetua School in Lafayette.
