The Unalaska City School District's Science Fair was another great success this year. The fair had 82 projects with nearly 150 students participating from 5th to 12th grade. The science fair is a long and grueling process for all involved and the students should be very proud of the work they did. I want to thank everyone that helped during the science fair and a very special thanks to all of our science fair judges. The grand prize winners for high school: Reanna Marquez, Joshua Fernandez, and Kanesia Price with their project "Freezing Point Depression" and for junior high: Sean Conwell, James Vuong, and JR Go with their project "Color Recall", will be traveling to participate in the State Fair.
