DEER PARK-NORTH BABYLON, NY - From Deer Park School District: Reflecting the hard work and creativity of their projects, winners in this year’s school science fair at Deer Park’s John F. Kennedy Intermediate School were third graders Ava Ortlieb (first place), Emily Luna (second place) and MelanieHoldcroft (third place); fourth graders Kaylee Puterbaugh (first), Emma Corley (second) and Connor McGuiness (third place); and fifth graders Adella Lathrop (first), Taylor Gabel (second) and Aubrey Pottinger (third).

“These amazing scientists took the time to ask a big question, formulate a hypothesis, perform an experiment, gather the data and develop a conclusion,” said science lab coordinator Joyce Carmen. JFK’s grade-level first- and second-place winners will move on to compete in the Brookhaven National Laboratory Elementary School Science Fair on May 4.
