Three Claremont Montessori School students were honored recently for lofty academic achievements. Fifth-graders Jessie Brandwein and Alex Venarchick earned ribbons at the 2009 Palm Beach County Elementary Mathematics and Science Fair in a competition that featured 1,456 entries.
“Jessie won the coveted first-place Green Earth Award for her mathematics project on the popularity of reusable grocery bags, and she was judged alongside green projects across all grades. Alex donned a second-place ribbon for his science project on the biodegradability of toilet paper,” said Rebecca Venarchick.
Fifth-grader Devin Weinberg competed at the state level in the National Geographic Bee, and was one of only six elementary school-aged children competing in the contest for grades four through eight.
