Caitlin attended the Regional Science Fair held in Mankato at MSU and had a great experience. There were 1800 kids and projects! Card table after card table lined the Taylor center and Myer Field House. I have never seen anything like it! The kids had to present their topic 3 times to 3 different judges and were judged on a variety of items. Caitlin received a purple ribbon, which is the top colored ribbon and she of course was very excited and proud. There were other ribbons handed out at the end of the day in each of the categories for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, but she was disappointed she didn't receive one of them. All in all though it was a great experience for her and the fact that she held her own makes us very proud parents! There were 9 students that represented John Ireland school and 7 of them received special ribbons in their specific category and age group.
