Cassidy!So, how did it go? Well, we actually found out in secret on Thursday but couldn't breathe a word until after the school assembly on Tuesday. When we went to the school in the morning, they had a visiting theatre at first performing and then this was followed by the awards ceremony.
I was pleased with how well it was done. First of all, there were 86 displays in the Science Fair. The fair was divided into grades 4, 5, 6, and 7. In Cassidy's division there were 19 displays.
Most impressive was the way the coordinator introduced Cassidy. I have it word for word, as it was so nice:
In the grade 6 category, we had the privilege of having a homeschooler join us for the first time. He needed to join our Science Fair to be able to go on to the District competition. The judges were very impressed with his display and he receives First Place Gold.
After the competition, one of the coordinators came up to Cassidy and said, "You better get working on next year's display!"
It was so nice to have such a welcome into a public school environment! I wasn't sure if this was a one time thing, or if the door would open again next year. I sure hope he can do it again!
There were three coordinators and they all came up and told Cassidy how impressed they and the judges were. I hope this is an indication of what the District judges will think!
Oh, and the funny thing? Remember the boy, Davis? The one who told Cassidy that he would meet him at Provincials? Well, that boy won the grade 7 competition. He, Cassidy, and a girl will be the ones going to District next week.
Thanks to all who voted and helped him come up with his name. Stay tuned for next weeks results. I see that there are between 27 and 37 schools in that competition! So it will be a tough competition!

Congratulations!!! How wonderful for Cassidy! Good luck at Regionals!
WOW!!!!! Congratulations Cassidy. It is nice to see that all of your hard work has paid off. Good luck in the district competition. I'd sure like to read all of your data some day and learn the results of your tests. Your Mom and Dad must be very proud of you. Just coming up with a project idea is hard but to stick to it to completion and then ace it on your first try is awesome.
Yea Cassidy! Congratulations! Your hard work paid off! :)
