+ Wadsworth Elementary problem solvers take first
Wadsworth Elementary School students took first place at the Future Problem Solvers state conference, in the junior-level Community Problem Solvers competition.
This is the first elementary school team in Flagler County to win at the state level and will be competing at the international competition June 9 to June 12, at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
The team’s project, Project Pet Pals, targeted the problem of animal abuse in the community by educating people about the importance of spaying and neutering their pets.
Students in the group raised money for the Flagler Humane Society for its spay and neuter program. They also wrote a children’s book about animal abuse and created a magnet for students who hear the story.
In the alternate writing competition, Zachary Loftus’ team won second place, and Daniel Santaella’s team won first.
