MDJH School Science Fair 2018

Our school science fair on March 15 was a great success. It showcased mostly grade 7 students, with the addition of a few determined scientists in grades 8 and 9. In total, we had about 80 projects presented by about 110 students. Eleven members of the St. John’s scientific community joined us as judges. They were very impressed with the overall caliber of the projects and enjoyed the experience of talking with our students. The science department is proud of all our students who participated and excited to announce the top projects of the MDJH Science Fair 2018:
