This past week, several middle school students presented their Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science (PJAS) projects at the state meeting that was held at Penn State - State College.

These students earned first awards at the local Region 3 meeting in February and were invited to present at the state level. As Region 3 first award recipients, they joined approximately 1,400 other first award recipients and technicians at the middle and high school levels from around the state of Pennsylvania.

They did us very proud at Penn State by earning first and second awards and also by being excellent ambassadors for Moravian Academy during their three days on campus from Sunday, May 15 to Tuesday, May 17.
