CNY Skeptics has participated in the GSSSF since 2003, and we were pleased to participate again this year. We awarded books and certificates to two students in each grade, 5th through 8th, and to two high school students. Our judging team was headed by David Harding, CNYS vice president. Other members of the team were Bryce Hand, Lisa Goodlin, Jess LaCelle, and Brian Madigan.
We congratulate the students, teachers, and GSSSF organizers for a job well done.
