Each year, students in grades 6-12 gather from all over the state to compete at The Vermont State Math & Science Fair. Mater Christi School students competed on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at Norwich University in Northfield with the support of their parents and their science teacher, Mr. Mark Pendergrass. Students who win awards at the school science fair each year are urged to attend the state competition, while others with exceptional projects are allowed – and often encouraged by their teacher – to attend as well.
