Today was the awards ceremony for the Montgomery County Science Fair. We had a total of eight middle and high school students participate, and seven recognitions altogether!!
We applaud the exceptional efforts of these eight exemplary students who spent the last three days of their Spring Break at the fair’s set up, judging and awards ceremony. MashaAllah through this valuable experience, they now have something more to add to their resumes…
