REPEAT ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Do you ever feel like there are not enough labs in your science class? Or you wonder what would happen if you could change something about a lab you completed? Then PJAS is for you. If you are interested in completing an individual experiment and presenting your findings please come to an informational meeting to find more about PJAS. Through this competition you will have the opportunity to win awards and cash prizes. So get those scientific minds working and meet us in the McDowell North Library on Monday October 5 during tutorial. Email Mr. Burruss or Mrs. Allaman for more information.
