Invention Showcase

Last Wednesday, April 1, I had the pleasure and honor of taking 6 students from grades 3-5 to the State Capitol to participate in the Connecticut Invention Convention Showcase.  These students came in second and third place in their respective grades at our school-wide Invention Fair in February.

They presented their inventions and work to visitors and guests from other schools, state representatives, journalists, and Governor Malloy.  They did an excellent job representing themselves and Capital Prep.  I am so proud of our great Trailblazers!

SO EXCITED!!
