Student teams from Bratt Elementary School placed in various categories and won 3rd place overall in the Escambia County (Fla.) School District’s Science Olympiad 2020.
Bratt took 1st place in the Tennis Ball Catapult; 4th place in the Estimania; 3rd place in Aerodynamics; 5th place in Picture This; and 3rd place in Team Spirit-Sportsmanship.
“We’re proud of the whole school,” said Principal Karen Hall.“The parents and the children have worked so hard. We couldn’t do this without everybody. We had teachers who stayed after school and worked with them, we had the help of the parents when we sent things home for them to practice.” Hall said the students really start working hard in January to get ready for the competition, as they participate every year. She said they have won in other years, but that this year they won more than in years past.
“It took all of us to get here and I am just so proud of the whole Bratt family,” she said.
