GCS announces County Social Studies Fair winners

Greenbrier County Schools hosted the annual County Social Studies Fair on Saturday, Mar. 5 at Eastern Greenbrier Middle School in Ronceverte. 

Social Studies Fairs provide students the opportunity to ask essential questions, recognize patterns of behavior, think critically, create solutions, predict outcomes, and draw conclusions to help them learn to solve problems. 

Before advancing to the county competition, event participants had previously won first place in their category at the school level. A total of thirty county fair projects won first place in their category, division, and type and will be advancing on to the Regional Social Studies Fair which will take place at EGMS on Saturday, Mar. 19.
