Competition is over. My job is done. Now, for the three teams that are going on to state competition, the real work begins. Science Olympiad is a wonderful national program. Every school who starts is aiming, this year, for a trip to Witchita State in Kansas. Everyone wants to win and be at the national… Continue reading And now the real work begins…
The restaurant we ate at on competition night was wonderful. It was within walking distance of the hotel. It was full of all kinds of local people – prom attendees eating prior, retirees having dinner, families eating out.

Yesterday it was NY, PA – a little as we went around Lake Erie, and the OH as we made… Continue reading More Indiana – SciOly (5/18)
Wasn’t that the lyrics of a song in the late 70s ?
