Piedmont IB 1st in State! ![]() Piedmont Middle School's Science Olympiad team won first place at the state competition on Wednesday. Students competed in 24 events ranging from test events about Fossils, lab events like Crime Busters, to engineering events such as Elastic Launch Glider. Faculty members Heidi Phillips, Robert Egnot, and Nicholas Ciambrone as well as parent and community volunteers coached the students as they worked all year on their problems, some of which involve college level science. Coach Phillips says " I am in awe of the effort that I see every Saturday, before school, and after school that keeps this team as successful as it is. Everyone in this program deserves recognition for the success earned this past Saturday. It was truly a team effort." Scores were announced to cheers and students joyfully accepted their medals and 1st place trophy on the NC State University stage. They look forward to traveling to Wisconsin to compete at the National Science Olympiad in May.

I mean they've literally been having a ball-bouncing and levitating due to new yoga ball bouncy seats and as an additional Mindflex levitating ball game.

The above quotation is taken from a student interview with Mrs. Delaney for our Cam Newton contest video (embedded at the bottom of this page).
It only takes a glance at the wins recently featured on our closed-circuit scrolling announcements (below) to prove Mrs. Delaney's point: Piedmont students excel in athletic and scholastic endeavors and show winning character. We have a national-champion Science Olympiad team as well as state champion sports teams, Do the Right Thing winners and academic contest winners. I've written about it before, but I'll say again, we are something special and YOU are part of the reason why. Whatever your gifts are- students, teachers, staff and parents- you share them with your school and help us all be great together. Thank you again for being you.

Each student was able to sling their own egg and the class loved it!
