Students cleaned up at the regional Science Fair, headed to next level.
Eleven students from the Southwest Virginia Governor's School will attend the Virginia Science Fair on Saturday at the Thomas Jefferson Community Center in Arlington.
Projects entered in last weekend's Blue Ridge Regional Science Fair by 12 Governor's School students placed high enough to bring invitations to enter them in the state fair. All but one of the students will make the trip.
The students are Freedom Kelley, Brent Surber, King Chan, Ellie Taylor, Mollie Anders, Brooke Copeland, Shane Moses, Ben O'Dell, Sandra Jenkins, David Hauver and Keith Bourne.
Other Governor's School students with awards in the various regional fair math and science categories included Wren Lanier, Tom Westmoreland, Amy Ryder, Clay Davis, Aaron McGrady, Kevin Liu, Mario Machi, Sabrina Kramer, Josh Hall, Tom Farmer and Kristen Beeler.
Students from the school who won special awards at the regional level included Surber, Copeland, Moses, O'Dell, Jenkins, Lanier, McGrady, Beeler, Amanda Alley, Hall, Farmer Trey Brossey, Jennifer Sharp, Philip Beamer, Matt Smiley and Jason Manley.
The Governor's School Board also learned at its meeting Tuesday that more than 100 students from Pulaski, Carroll, Wythe, Giles and Smyth are hoping to enroll next year. That could present a problem for the Governor's School, which is currently limiting enrollment to a maximum of 100 students, partly because of lack of space in its building on the Pulaski County High School campus and partly because the state only participates in funding for 100.
