Another Science Success Story
The press releases keep pouring in about the various area schools that scored well in myriad recent academic competitions -- academic decathlons, science olympiads et al.
The latest concerns the performance of Pedro-based Park West Place Elementary during the latter contest; specifically, the 22nd Annual Los Angeles County Science Olympiad held March 15 at Cal State LA.
Details, courtesy of an email from one Luanne Stevens (thanks, Luanne!): A team of fifteen 4th and 5th grade students from Park Western Place Harbor Math Science Magnet took home gold medals from the the Science Olympiad. With 48 elementary schools competing, the highest-scoring teams received gold medals, while the others were awarded silver and bronze based on the team's total score. Park Western Place had the second highest total score in the competition.
Team members are as follows: Isaac Cano, Brandon Choe, Sophia Collins, Kate Finn, Celeste Goodwin, Hanethzie Granados, Zane Grissett, Austin Labador, Nicholas Martinrez, Cassidy Mernin, Amanda Perez, Evan Rezai, Gary Runnels, Yasmine Saxey-Santillo and Scott Stevens. Team leader is Susan Goldberg, the school's Magnet Coordinator.
Congrats, Park Western!
