QUEST Scientists were awarded prizes at the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair, the South Sound Regional Science Fair, and at the Puyallup School District’s 11th Annual Science Fair. The State Science Fair was held at Olympic College in Bremerton. The South Sound Regional Science Fair took place at Pacific Lutheran University. The 11th Annual Puyallup School District Science Fair was held at the Spring Fair. QUEST families can be very proud of the work demonstrated at all three events by their young scientists.

Congratulations to all of our QUEST Scientists! If I missed anyone, I apologize. Tracking our pull-out students presents us with quite a challenge, and we rely on you to help us. Please let me know who I missed and how they did and I’ll gladly update this list.

I am very surprised with all of these awards from the Washington State Science and Engineering Fair, the South Sound Regional Science Fair, and at the Puyallup School District’s 11th Annual Science Fair and how well they did to achieve this level.

Were pullout students included in the list of science fair winners? My duaghter won a first place ribbon at the Puyallup District Science fair, but her name was not listed in the article. Hopefully that was just an oversight. Don’t forget that pull-out students are part of the QUEST program.

We’re very aware of pull-out students. Among the four of us, the current elected members of ABC Executive Board have two PAGE students, three self-contained students, and three pull-out students.
As I wrote above, “Congratulations to all of our QUEST Scientists! If I missed anyone, I apologize. Tracking our pull-out students presents us with quite a challenge, and we rely on you to help us. Please let me know who I missed and how they did and I’ll gladly update this list.”
In the past, we’ve found that pull-out teachers may not have been aware of how their students did in the science fair, and, as there is no overall results list from the district available for us to work from, we have to piece the information together from parents’ reports. We want to celebrate all of our students’ successes, but we can’t do it without help from our parents.

Just wanted to give you the websites of upcoming Science Fairs and maybe we can post on our website. I didn’t realize how easy it was to attend these Science Fairs.
