SANDPOINT — Tables and elements. Both were in abundance, along with a lot of enthusiasm and curiosity at Sandpoint High School Tuesday when honors students hosted an inter-school “science circuit” event geared toward generating enthusiasm for the sciences in up-and-coming area elementary school students.
The event drew about 450 students from area schools as well people from the community, school board members, and community leaders. Students came to the event from across the Lake Pend Oreille School District, including the Farmin Stidwell’s experiential program that consists of a mix of first through sixth graders, and the Sandpoint Christian School, according to district officials.
