The Perry County Science Fair took place on Oct. 9.

Each school has their own science fair and sends the winners to the district science fair. Perry County Schools had 110 students from across the district who participated in the science fair this year.

These students work hard on these entries, sometimes taking weeks to gather data and document their science fair project. They create a display and keep a journal to show what happens daily as they work on their project.
