Ringgold Middle School students wrapped up their annual school-wide science fair competition on May 21. Middle school teachers judged the projects and selected the top five from each grade level. Those top 15 students progressed to the finals. The final judges, professionals from the Ringgold community, volunteered their time to visit the school and listen to the science fair finalists’ oral presentations detailing their projects. This year, judges selected a “Judge’s Choice” from each grade level as well as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place overall winners.

6^th Grade Winners: (front) Christian Egan, Erica Glaneman, Anna Freeman, Shelby Abel, Phoenix Fleming, Mason St. Cyr, (back row) Emalee Megela, Emerald Churchill, Lauren Gohacki, Nicole Belliasario, Kaylee Cassa, Sydney Koontz, Kaylee Wyandt, (missing from photo) Zach Jones and Tyler Lang.

Grade level winners were: Shelby Abel (6th), Grant Gerard (7th), and Hannah McGee (8th). Overall school-wide winners were: 1st place-Hannah McGee, 2nd place-Shelby Abel, and 3rd place-Christian Egan, Anna Freeman, and Erica Glaneman.

Students in every grade at RMS learn throughout the school year how to apply the steps of the scientific method to scientific problems and completed a project using this method. Each project is displayed in the school’s main hallway. As a school-wide event, it takes many people to make this event run smoothly. Thanks go to Vice Principal Lennie Nedley and PTA parents: Science Fair Chair Chrisann Majernik, Christina Parsons, Luann Hyslop, and Joni Martino, as well as judges for the finals: former teacher Cathy Smith, former teacher Camilla Ferrara and architect John Stitch.

The PTA would like to acknowledge Valley Skating of Donora, Rostraver Ice Garden, Mon Valley YMCA, Vocelli’s Pizza of Finleyville, Dairy Queen of Finleyville, Wagner’s Deliciously Different of Finleyville, Trax Farm, My Coffee Shop of Monongahela, Sheetz of Monongahela, Eat ‘n Park of Monongahela, New Eagle Bakery and Starbucks of Belle Vernon.
