Coweta students excel in Science Olympiad By Celia Shortt celia@newnan.com
Coweta County students continue to excel in many a re a s , a nd recent ly, fou r schools placed at the regional Science Olympiad compet it ion a nd w i l l represent Coweta County at the state competition. The Science Olympiad is a nationally recognized program that gives students an opportunity to experience the practical applications of science. Teams of 15 students cross-train to prepare for 23 different events, dealing with mechanical engineering, technology, genetics, chemistry, anatomy, physics, geology, and earth science. Coweta Cou nt y Schools have a successful history at Science Olympiad, this year’s regional competition included. All three high schools — East Coweta, Newnan, and Northgate — had medal winners in multiple events. Northgate finished fourth in a regional event and will represent Coweta County at the state competition in March. M a d r a s M i d d l e S c h o ol placed second at the middle school regional competition and will also represent Coweta at the state competi-
tion. Newnan Crossing Elementary school and Brooks Elementary School placed first and second at their regional competition and will represent Coweta in May at the state elementary school Science Olympiad competition. The Science Olympiad is special not only in that it fosters a spirit of competition for students, but also in that cultivates the spirit of volunteerism. High school students play integral roles, as more than 50 students from all Coweta high schools and the CEC have contributed to the competitions. Usually high school students help develop opportunities for the elementary and middle school teams. High school students also give up their Saturdays to judge events and help coach elementary and middle school science olympians. They even shared advice and encouragement with the younger kids and helped hand out medals to the winners. The Coweta County School System currently has 15 different Science Olympiad teams in three different divisions — elementary, middle, and high school. ECHS has one of the largest programs in Georgia with three full teams com-
peting yearly plus a number of students supporting the competition teams. Six of the Coweta elementary schools also have teams — Brooks, Poplar Road, Newnan Crossing, Ruth Hill, and White Oak. Coweta County also has four middle schools which field a team — East Coweta Middle School, Lee Middle School, Madras Middle School, and Smokey Road Middle School.

Justin Timineri, executive chef and culinary ambassador, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. “My favorite recipe for them is to simply ‘Rinse, eat and repeat.’”

Kay Crosby felt compelled to change her life and medical
practice after being guided by a strong calling. Crosby, a medical doctor, practiced at the PAPP Clinic in Newnan for 20 years. After traveling with her church on several mission trips, Crosby began to understand how rewarding it was to treat people in need. “It made me see the world
differently a nd our community differently, as well,” Crosby said. When she worked a church medical clinic, Crosby said she found a woman with a blood sugar level greater than 300 and realized there was nowhere in Newnan for this
