Good luck to all the competition out there and GO BULLDOGS!

Notable Moments
One of the most prized moments of PRMS SciOly history was being able to host the 2023 Science Olympiad National Tournament, here in Kansas (*although technically not in the same city, it's close enough*). We loved it all from the STEM Explo to the Post-Closing Ceremony. Oh, and fust for the record, Kansas isn't just a huge farm...
At the 2023 Nationals, PRMS Students dressed up as characters from the Wizard of Oz, namely the Tin Man, the Wicked Witch of the West, Dorothy, and the Scarecrow.
