The district held its annual Science Fair on Saturday, January 10, at the Magnolia Event Center, where 327 projects from 6th-grade students across the district were on display. Students spent time developing, researching, analyzing, and detailing projects in categories that included: medicine and health, chemistry, energy, engineering, microbiology, physics, plants and environmental science, and animal and behavior science.

For the 12th consecutive year, Glenn and Lorie Addison of Magnolia Funeral Home have donated Chromebooks to each 1st and 2nd place winner. Winners will be recognized at the February Board meeting. Thank you to Glenn and Lorie Addison for their continued support of the students in Magnolia ISD.
