Melinda goes away to school

Here is a post from the Aiken star newspaper mentioning Melinda going to SCGSSM. I visited her last week, she ssms to be really enjoying it. It’s hard work, but she likes it! I am proud and happy for her.:

Six students from Aiken County have been accepted to the S.C. Governor’s School for Science & Mathematics in Hartsville as part of the class of 2019.

They are:

• Heather Cosh, a daughter of Christy and John Cosh of North Augusta, and Abigail Fralick, a daughter of Karen Fralick and Dan Fralick of North Augusta, who both transferred from North Augusta High School

The students moved onto campus in mid-August, and classes started Aug. 14, according to a news release from the school. This year, 276 students, representing 128 high schools and 35 counties, are enrolled at the S.C. Governor’s School for Science & Mathematics.

The S.C. Governor’s School for Science & Mathematics is a public, residential high school for academically talented juniors and seniors.

The school offers unique, college-level courses and a hands-on curriculum with a special focus on science, technology, engineering, math and research, along with concentrations in economics and entrepreneurship and a full array of humanities courses, according to the release.

Hannah and the web page.

Hannah is applying to the South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics. (scgssm.org) Being the active Young Makers she is, she wanted to figure a way to impress them with her creativity. She knew she wanted to do something on the internet. While we where brainstorming, we where searching for interesting domain names to park her projects at. In our search, she found that “scgssm.net” was available! Hannah, with the help of some friends ( Charles, Will ), put something together. Here is Hannah’s personal message to the good ‪#‎Govie‬ folks at the Governor’s School:
