The Dee Events Center on Weber State University campus hosted middle school students from northern and central Utah including Morgan Middle School, at the Ritchey Science Fair on Thursday, March 23.
In February, MMS held their first Science Fair with 11 students qualifying in the top three at the school level with all 11 students from MMS winning an award for their project.
“With this being our first year competing, I was nervous but our MMS Discover Labs Students rose to the occasion and were the talk of the Science Fair,” said science teacher Sherry Birt. “I had multiple judges come to me and tell me they were impressed with how well they did and that they would have never known they hadn't competed in a Science Fair before. Every student worked so hard and made Morgan proud.”
