Wetumpka High students take science projects to state competition

Wetumpka High School students left their mark in state science competitions and exhibitions over the last month.

Over the last year the students have studied chemistry, plastics and agriculture outside of the classroom. They have run so many tests it has driven some to challenge relationships and even family. It has worked for junior Lily Vilardi who has been studying microplastics. Her project placed third in the state science fair at Auburn University last week and second in the paper reading. It provides a unique opportunity for Dr. Virgina Vilardi to push her granddaughter's studies.
