Key Club Members Compete at DCON

Key Club DCON 2017

Thirty of Manual’s Key Clubbers recently joined Key Club members from across the Kentucky-Tennessee District in Gatlinburg for the District Convention. Ms. Erin Moss, Key Club sponsor and science teacher, shared that students participated in leadership workshops and service projects, and got to see some of Gatlinburg. While there, three of our students ran for district office (Ayush Halder, Minh Phuc Tran, and Aafreen Shaik), but unfortunately were unsuccessful in their bid. Manual Key Club competed for recognition among the other clubs in various areas as did individual students.

2017 Regional Science Fair Photos

The Regional Science Fair for Meyzeek and Manual students was held March 11 at Jefferson Community & Technical College. Over 300 students competed for Manual, requiring 200 judges and nearly 100 volunteers. Students who placed first or second in their category will proceed to state competition on April 1. According to Mr. Zwanzig, MST Magnet Coordinator:

“We are sending 49 projects to the State Science Fair. This is probably the strongest group of students we have ever sent to State. Any of them would win something if they made it to the International Science Fair. These kids are all truly amazing. There were some strong projects that unfortunately did not get sent to state because we are limited in how many we can send.”
