Our Lady of Peace 8th Graders Excel at Regional Science Fair

The regional science fair was held at the University of St. Francis on Friday, March 11th. Over 420 science fair projects in either the paper, design, or project session were presented.

Our Lady of Peace School in Darien sent 20 students this year. Ten students submitted their paper and 10 submitted for the poster/project session, and all of the students received a rating of silver or above! What a fantastic accomplishment! At Our Lady of Peace the science fair is taken very seriously and students begin working on their projects in 7th grade. We sent the best to St. Francis and they did very well!
