Science and Engineering Fair Awards

Nine anxious Emerson students and their parents attended the 22nd Annual Science and Engineering Fair Awards Ceremony at UCR last night, proud that their projects were to be considered for recognition.  The ceremony can be viewed on SchoolTube or read about it in The Highlander News.

Fourteen RUSD elementary schools participated in the fair.  The Emerson projects were fascinating, as represented in their titles and recognized by their awards:
