Colorado Science & Engineering Fair
April 6th-8th 2017

Monte Vista was well represented by nine finalists in Fort Collins this weekend! Elias Arredondo, Ethan Hotz, Molly Nehring, Sara Nehring, Parker Randolph, Alyssa Rawinski, Camille Rawinski, Caleb Riggenbach, and Michael Savala

This year’s CSEF hosted approximately 330 excellent projects with over 400 students attending.  Our students performed exceptionally well during the judging phase, and participated in all sorts of science-related tours across the CSU campus.  

Each of these students worked extremely hard to reach this level of competition, and did an outstanding job representing themselves, our science program, and the district as a whole. One notable accomplishment is that ALL nine MVSD finalists “made the stage” and placed at some level for a Grand Award, a feat not seen for several years at CSEF (this is an extremely competitive fair)!!  Congratulations to them all, and THANK YOU to the parents, school board members, administration, staff, and sponsors who helped make this trip a huge success!
