NPAS Science Fair



Congratulations to all 82 Elementary Scientists who presented their projects on Saturday March 7th at New Prague Middle School.  A variety of topics were researched and tested using the scientific method or the engineering model. Judging took place in shifts with National Honor Society and community members taking on the tough task of judging these quality projects. Each student spent time with three judges.  

Following judging, an award ceremony was held in the auditorium where middle and high school science fair participants presented prizes from projects they judged for Special Awards, a random drawing was held for all participants and prizes were awarded for the scavenger hunt participants. The following students were awarded purple ribbons and have the chance to represent New Prague Schools in regional competition in Mankato on Saturday April 25: Anthony  Longton, Adam Pankow, Ian Degross, Lucy Helgestad, Ava Rivard, Nora Rosemeier, Annie Glomski, Alexis Rueger, Matthew Ryburn, Bailey Newman, Claire Blees, Ava Collins, Courtney French, Madison Josephson, Jonathan Sayler, Ashlyn Erickson, Lucas Ferguson, Amanda Boyer, Lexi Miller, Abigail Bartusek. Alternates are: Anna Schellin, Libby Olson, Macy Tietz , Evie Wegner and Henry Cox. 

The science fair program is generously sponsored by New Prague Community Education and the Gifted and Talented Program. District coordinator is Jodi Prchal, along with teachers Cathy Ilkka, Brian Triplett and Rich Wilson who helped with our kickoff event, help sessions and with the fair itself. Students interested in participating next year should start thinking of a project this summer and contact Mrs. Jodi Prchal for a packet by emailing her at jprchal@np.k12.mn.us
