The following individuals and organizations made generous donations to enable us to cover the cost for students to attend this conference: Becky Garner, Greg Hickman, Kiwanis Club of Loganville, Loganville Lions Club, and Walton County DEES Department.

My husband and I were priviledged to attend this event as judges.  We were very impressed with students from across Georgia who joined their teachers and classmates in showcasing their skills and interests through a competitive event on Friday.  Students demonstrated professionalism through personal interviews and how they chose their projects.  We have a great group of students in our county who are lead by fantastic educators to reach their full potential.  Anyone interested can be a judge.  We can't wait til next year!
