Fifth Grade Science Fair

A Great Success

Excitement filled the HOB Gymnasium Friday, March 5, 2010 for the return of the Fifth Grade Science Fair. Fifth grade students proudly presented their science fair projects to the students and staff of HOB and a number of supportive fifth grade parents. All students did a tremendous job preparing their projects. Impartial judges reviewed each project and selected the following winners.

Grades K-4 students were asked to choose their favorite overall project and the "Viewers' Choice" award goes to Dylan White with a fully functioning volcano. Second place "Viewers' Choice" award goes to Kyra Morin and her colorful crystals.

See pictures of the winners and other participants in the "HOB Picture Gallery".

On Friday, February 26, 2010, several 4th and 5th grade students were recognized as "Distinguished Students" for receiving a "5" on one or more sections of the DSTP assessment. Students received a certificate and were congratulated by Superintendent Dr. George Stone, Dr. Mike Kelley, and Mrs. Cathy Petitgout.

Ms. Luft's 4th grade class had the opportunity this week to vist the museum in downtown Milton. The Milton Historical Society prepared group research activities and skits for the students to perform. The focus of this trip was for students to learn Sussex County's roll in the American Revolutionary War.

Congratulations!
