St.  Andrews  International  School,  Green  Valley   February  10,  2014   3rd SAIS Eastern Seaboard Science Fair Wow – What a day. The 3rd SAIS Eastern Seaboard Science Fair is over for another year, but what a success it was. Students from 6 International Schools competed in a variety of categories. The exhibits were of an extremely high quality and very varied in their scientific   scope. The Science Department wowed onlookers with an exciting science show and teased the brain power of competitors with a ‘Science Olympiad’. SAIS Green Valley won 10 of the 20 prizes available, which included the coveted ‘Best in Show’, won by Mild (Year 9) for her work on Vitamin C. Well done everybody. A special thank you goes to the PTG for providing a delicious lunch and our sponsors for helping the fair to go ahead.     Exceptional Learners SAIS Green Valley Winners Best in Show: Mild Year 9 Over the next few weeks there are a couple of opportunities for the students in the Year 7 – 9 Exceptional Learners group to challenge themselves and to extend their thinking skills.
