The sixth-grade team included Chip Elson, Kieran Petrunich, Nolan Fogarty, Norah Prendergast, Olivia Schwandt, Richard Ren, Sean Vanson, Siena Sysko and Claire Dignazio. This team really competed well, earning 15 medals in seven different events, including no less than FIVE 1st Place awards!
1st Place: Egg Drop, Health and Fitness, Food Science, Measurement and Mystery Architecture

Bravo, team! A special shout out to Norah, who personally earned three 1st Place medals this year. That is unprecedented at Tower Hill!
The Upper School Science Olympiad team competed at Delaware State University last month. Sabrina Luther and Josephine Thrasher placed 10th in the "Write-it, Do-it" competition. Josephine Thrasher was a finalist for the Innovation award for her entry into the Bungee Jump competition. Great work!
