Congratulations to Science Olympiad Team

On Saturday, December 5 Fulton Science Academy Private School Science Olympiad Team competed in the Chattahoochee Invitational in Johns Creek. This was the first tournament of the season and included teams from throughout the metro Atlanta area, Tennessee, and Alabama. The FSA team took third place behind Bearden Middle School from Knoxville, Tennessee and Dodge Middle School from Marietta. Several FSA students earned medals in their events.

Head Coaches Pam Walsh and Gloria Stathos were pleased with the team’s performance. “This early in the season it’s difficult to be prepared for each of the 23 events. Building events require a lot of testing and calibrating. There is still a lot of work to be done, but we are making progress,” said Mrs. Walsh.
