Saturday’s Putnam City Invitational featured 26 teams competing in all 46 of Science Olympiad’s regular STEM events. The uncertain weather forecast prevented a number of teams from participating, but that is the risk of January events!
Special thanks go to the faculty and staff of Putnam City High School and a special thank you to the Putnam City High School Science Olympiad team for setting up and managing events. Their Coach is Mr. Benton Shriver. The team is also an NABT BioClub and Mr. Shriver, a member of the National Association of Biology Teachers is their sponsor. There are a number of reasons why Division C teams would become BioClub Chapters and you can learn about them here. Special thanks also goes the Mr. Mike Hardestry, the PC High Activities Director and Mr. Brett Bradley, the PC High School Principal for their support.
