The LWE Argonne Exemplary Student Research Program (ESRP) team presented their project to faculty, family and friends last week. The presentation was practice for when they participate in the Argonne poster session in a couple of weeks.
The project this year is a metagenomic DNA analysis of the complete microbiome of soil. This project was based on a Department of Defense funded study to allow international investigators to conclude what activities are or were occurring inside a structure by analyzing the soil microorganisms outside of a structure. Good luck to the Argonne ESRP team!









Students across the district spent time over the last two days in review sessions and practice exams for their upcoming AP tests! We are proud of their dedication and wish them all luck as they tackle their AP tests in a few weeks.
