Livingstone School in Lundbreck held a Science Fair on Tuesday, May 13.  "They do the science fair every year," said Kim Jorgenson.  "They get great participation, they get experiments from the hot air in the balloon to the food colour dyes, and everything in between."

"The nice thing about it is that all the classes get to go through."

"It's not a small affair.  Every grade gets to go through, and try the experiments.  The teachers come through and see the different experiments, and the older kids get to see all the experiments."

"It's a nice recognition for the kids that put in the time and the effort to do it.   I know that there were some little kids that were new to the school, and didn't quite get what it was, and they were so disappointed after, that they are already planning for the science fair next year, because they want their experiment."

 "The thing about Lundbreck School is that it's small, it's a family.  Everybody knows everybody.  It's really special to be able to go through and see what the kids have created."

"Some kids paired up, so some of the experiments were done by a couple of kids, together.  Overall, it was great!"
