Riverview Students Earn Awards for PA Junior Academy of Science Competition!

On Saturday, February 5th, 14 Riverview students participated virtually in the regional Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science (PJAS) competition.  PJAS allows students to complete scientific laboratory experiments and STEM related investigations under the guidance of a teacher mentor.  Students then present their results to a panel of scientists, engineers, and teacher who evaluate the quality of the student's work.
