PR Invention Convention Showcase Clever
Inventions
Pine-Richland's
own version of the "Invention Convention" got underway
on Thursday, April 12, 2007 in the PR Spirit Room.
Some of the gadgets in which students shared
with their fellow peers, staff and administrators included:
sleeve holder, fajitas folder, a backpack with a charging
device for your ipods and other handheld devices, an improved
pencil sharpener, remote stopping for skates, an automatic
watering system for plants and even an expandable dog leash
for your yard. 
The GATE classes from all three buildings
participated. Students in grades 3, 4 and 5 showcased their
inventions.
Students spent the semester making their
inventions, keeping an inventor's log, completing research,
choosing materials and making a model. 
The students displayed their work and
enjoyed looking at the other inventions.
Hance Elementary Teacher Vicki Roth, Richland Elementary Teacher
Deb Newcomer and Wexford Elementary Teacher Jan Montgomery
helped coordinate the event.
