The annual event was held at Cheatham Middle School in Ashland City.
In addition to naming the top overall Science Fair winners, the event featured performances by local students and refreshments by Cheatham County businesses.
Science Fair coordinator Emily Staggs said, “The Science Fair is a great opportunity for our students to shine bright. As always, the students developed some very creative projects and experiments.”
The Science Fair showcased the talent of many Cheatham County students, including Sycamore Middle School student Blake Young, who performed a magic act; and Sycamore Middle School student Gracie Parrish, who clogged.
There were also performances by the dance team from Sycamore Middle School (led by Julie Davenport) and the choirs from Sycamore High School (led by Maggie Mason), Sycamore Middle School (led by Michael Petrone) and Cheatham Middle School (led by Allie Bilderback).
BJ’s Family Restaurant in Pleasant View, The Livery Stables in Pleasant View and Cody’s Diner in Ashland City provided refreshments to the guests.
“This event would not have been possible without the generous support of A.O. Smith and our food sponsors,” Staggs said.
A.O. Smith provides the prize money for the students and helps every year to stage the event, which highlights students’ academic achievements and promotes the love of science.
