Science Fair 2012

Again, Caitlin made her way to the regional Science Fair at MSU Mankato with her project titled "Gassy Vegetables".  Probably wondering why she chose this?  Simply said..."Gas" aka farts.  Funny huh?  Well, it was actually an interesting project and she actually had to do some research and math and science.  She had her heart set on winning a place this year, since last year she didn't and was a bit disappointed.  She's our "prize oriented" daughter. :)  So this year, she walked away with a 1st place in her catagory prize which included a certificate and $30 gift card to Walmart!  She was smiling from ear to ear. :)  John Ireland as a whole did quite well.  They had 9 kids go, 8 got purple ribbons, 1 got blue and of the 8 purple there were 4-1st places, 2-2nd places and 2-3rd places!  It's quite the experience and the pride in the room from all the parents and teachers is overflowing.
