🎉 Huge congratulations to 10 of our VAVA Elementary students (grades 3–5) who competed at VASO’s Division A Regional Science Olympiad on April 18! 🐝

Our students earned medals in every event they entered, including a 🥇 1st place and multiple 🥈 2nd place finishes across build events and a written test. This was our elementary school’s first time competing, with only 3 months of preparation, and they competed against talented schools from across the state! 🔬🏅 Go, BEES!!
