On February 9th, 66 students from Algona Middle School displayed 54 entries for the 53rd Annual School Science Fair. This is the first year that this event was partially held during the school day, which encouraged significantly more participation. For middle school, there are two different classes- Life Projects and Physical Projects. Students spent the afternoon giving presentations to judges based on their research and findings. After a short break, family and friends were invited to view the projects prior to the awards ceremony. Congratulations to those advancing on to state!

One method that teachers have been utilizing are circles. Today the middle school would like to introduce that practice and show it being applied in the classroom.
