From Three Village Central School District: Paul J. Gelinas Junior High School’s Science Olympiad team in the Three Village Central School District recently earned a first-place win at the Cornell University Invitational.

During the event, the students competed against several nationally ranked teams, including Piedmont, North Carolina, and the team’s friendly rivals at Eagle Hill, New York. Gelinas students scored one of the best team totals in tournament history. The B-team also performed well, beating most other A-teams. Likewise, the C-team had an impressive performance at the competition.

The Gelinas Science Olympiad Team is eternally grateful for those whose support made this program and its success possible, including school and district administrators, coaches, parents, volunteers and program alumni who have helped the students become scientists. The team looks forward to continued success at the regional and state tournaments.
