ST. HELEN SCHOOL STANDS OUT AT REGIONAL SCIENCE FAIR
​ The Northeast Ohio Science and Engineering Fair (NEOSEF) takes place each spring at Cleveland State University to showcase 7th - 12th grade students from a seven-county area. 44 middle schools from the region sent their best projects to be judged at NEOSEF this year. Judges interviewed students on Tuesday, March 12th and awarded students based on overall performance in their category.  In addition, representatives from dozens of science organizations considered projects for special awards.     St. Helen School in Newbury had 10 students participate in NEOSEF this year.  Kylie Hoenigman, Madeline Martin Kosier, and Hannah Wojtasik earned Honorable Mention recognition for their projects.  Madeline Martin Kosier was also presented with the William R. Sweet Award for Chemistry. Isabella Adair and Margaret Ruggeri were recognized with 3rd place medals and ribbons. Students awarded with 2nd place for their projects, include Grace Charmley, Paige Fisher, Lucy Joyce, and Jack Murray.   In addition to her 2nd place fair award, Lucy Joyce was presented with the Second Place Materials Project award by the Cleveland Chapter of the ASM International for her project on how changes in temperature effect the elasticity of rubber bands.  Lucy received her prize at the organization’s March 26th meeting in Cleveland, where she had been invited to discuss her project with members prior to their regular meeting. Joslyn Borah’s project, comparing hydroponic and aquaponic systems for food production processes, earned 1st place in the biology category and was also chosen as one of the two Grand Prize Winners from all 7th and 8th grade projects entered this year.  In addition, Borah’s project, titled, “I Just Wet My Plants,” was recognized by two organizations -- the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers and Cleveland Clinic’s Learner Research Institute -- for special prizes.
