2015 Science Fair

On Thursday February 5, 2015, Lester Prairie Schools celebrated their annual Science Fair.  Students in grades 3-6 submitted projects using the Scientific Method demonstrating experiments in Chemistry, Physics, Family and Consumer Science, Medicine & Health, Engineering, Math, Plants, and Microbiology.  Volunteer judges had some difficult decisions to make because the projects were all very good.  First and Second place winners from the local Science Fair have been invited to move on and participate in the Regional Science Fair on Saturday April 25, 2015 at Minnesota State University-Mankato.  The local winners are:

Winsted Public Library Silent Auction Benefits LP Media Center

 

Recently Winsted Public Library held their annual silent auction.  Students in grades K-5 donated goods for baskets to help raise money in the silent auction.  The event was coordinated by the LP Parents for Education and Winsted Libary personnel.  A check in the amount of $400 was donated back to LP media center and the funds will go toward the purchase of the 2015-16 Maud Hart Lovelace & Star of the North Nominated Books for the media center.
