Hello,
I had the pleasure of serving as the Special Awards Chairman for the 2019, 2020 and 2021 West Panhandle Regional Science and Engineering Fair.
I remembered finalizing the awards for these two highly motivated students.
We, at the Escambia County School District Math and Science Departments, hope these students continue and participate in the 2022 West Panhandle Regional Science and Engineering Fair.
Semper Fi!!!

Wow! Even the pictures don’t help me to figure out the projects. These kids are way ahead of me. I always thought science was just for growing plants, lol. Congratulations to both of them.
I’m so proud of you Kelsey your such a smart girl.
