​On April 4, St. James-Assiniboia School Division celebrated its 52nd annual Divisional Science Fair at George Waters Middle School/St. James Collegiate. The 2018 academic event saw more than 150 students participate in creating original, science-based projects and defending their research in front of a panel of judges. We would like to thank everyone involved in this year's event, the Science Fair Committee, our presenters, staff, parents and volunteers for helping us continue this longstanding tradition in SJASD. Our students did an exceptional job demonstrating their passion for science, creative and critical thinking skills, curiousity for the world around them, and
 ability to explore unfamiliar subject areas. Congratulations to all participants this year as you deserve to be commended on your hard work and tremendous dedication. An extended congratulations to all of the special award recipients listed below, categorized by age and genre specific awards:
