On May 5, three eighth-grade students from St. Peter Lutheran School in Schaumburg competed in the Illinois Junior Academy of Science state science fair. This competition was held in Assembly Hall on the campus of the University of Illinois in Champaign.

Haley Baron, Trine Jensens and Elissa Peterson earned the opportunity to compete at this fair after their projects were selected as top projects at the Illinois Junior Academy of Science regional fair, which was held at Niles North High School in March.

These students arrived in Champaign on May 4, and were honored at a banquet later that evening. They arrived at Assembly Hall early the next morning and presented their projects to a judging team.

Later that afternoon, the students attended an awards ceremony. It was at this ceremony that Trine Jensen and Elissa Peterson received a gold medal award (the top award at the state competition) and Haley Baron was awarded a silver medal.
