Subjects ranged from Science, History, Language Arts, Reading, Architecture to Visual Arts. Students were on hand to present their projects to evaluators who were 14 members of the community who volunteered to judge the entries. The students who were given the opportunity to discuss their projects with the evaluators were excited to share their findings with local professional role models, who included Mike Johnson, Jon Orris, Bernadette Schroeter, Marie Andrews, Tim Graham, Heather Musclow, Rudy Musclow, Ed DeFrancia, Bill Zanotti, Rick Klein, Bruce Louthan, Bob Phillips, Tom Chart and Nan Norris. Those involved in organizing the Academic Fair believe its fantastic success can be attrib- - uted to the hard working efforts of the students, their supporting parents, their teachers and the encouragement and praise of local community members who showed their interest in the students projects by so willingly vol- - unteering to share their time with the students. The organizers extend their thanks to all involved for encouraging the students to strive for the best, for themselves and our town.
