every day he still draws upon the public speaking skills he learned, the experience of dealing with different cultures, and the research skills that he learned during his years of participation in the mastodon fair. chris has also become a role model for his younger siblings. his 5 year old sister tugged on my shirt and announced so very proudly, “i am going to go to college just like chris did!” changing student’s lives by encouraging the art in science and the science in art is what the mastodon fair is all about!
i want to congratulate the mastodon fair on being the greatest art and science fair for 30 years!
