Canyon Park Junior High School will carry
the Washington State Science Olympiad mascot,
the salmon, to the National Competition
on May 19-20.
Twenty-four 7th, 8th, and 9th graders
represented Canyon Park and the Bothell/Woodinville
communities on April 8 at the Washington
State Finals at Eastern Washington University.
The competition drew the best 21 teams
from all of Washington state.
After months of hard work and preparation,
the Canyon Park students investigated,
modeled, and displayed their expertise
in a variety of scientific and technological
events.
Some brought devices that were put to
a variety of challenges, while others had
to perform amazing science feats on the
spot.
All students made an impressive showing,
earning commanding medal finishes in 19
of the 23 possible events.This year’s
finals will be held at Indiana University
in Bloomington, Ind.
Coaches Sheila Guard and Jeff Armentrout
continue to be impressed by the group’s
focus and dedication.
