The annual West Elementary School Science Fair, sponsored by the school's PTO group was held on Wednesday, February 11, between snow storms. The West El cafeteria was filled to capacity with West Elementary students from every grade level and many parents and guests. The projects presented topics and concepts from a wide variety of areas with most providing interactive components designed to demonstrate experimental findings and educate guests viewing the projects. A sampling of some of the student work with its creators is presented here.
