McCullough was grateful for the opportunity and said, “It was nice to receive recognition for the hard work we put into writing and designing.”

 

Mrs. Alice Rowe enjoys the learning opportunity the event provided. “I’m always so proud of my students. I think it’s a great experience for them to compete with students from other states. I feel like this competition shows them how much they are able to do with the program they are involved in.”
