The Saugerties High School Science Club-Science Alliance hosted its third annual seventh-through-12th grade Science Fair Nov. 6 at the high school. The fair was sponsored by Neal Smoller of Village Apothecary, Kiwanis Club, Opus 40 and the junior and senior high school student governments.

Students were required to submit a project based on experimental data, engineering or modeling.

There were more than 200 people in attendance to view 57 student projects with 80 participants. The judges were teachers past and present: Mitch Stevens, Mary Bishop, Dorothy Silberg, Amy Hopf, Ms. Ciccone, Bonnie Parmelee and Bob Davis as well as physicist Anne Davis, retired chemical engineer Ted Skaar and IBM engineer Alex Feinberg.

In addition to student work, there were also displays by the Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association, which had two telescopes; the SUNY New Paltz geology department, which demonstrated a Darcy Column;  Opus 40 with information about its historic site; and the Center of Health, with a display promoting health and wellness .

Advisors Amy Scanlon and Ara Krom extended thanks to Ms. Van Voorhis, Mr. Kemp, Mr. Van Vliet and Ms. Mooney (first names not used when referring to teachers), who presented student work, as well as Ms. Sachar for helping with the refreshment table. They also extended thanks to Greg and Kim from Bailiwick Ranch/Zoo for providing an entertaining animal show (only first names for affable animal wranglers).
