Congratulations to the Lyme / Old Lyme Science Olympiad team for their 2nd place win at the state Science Olympiad tournament!

The Lyme/Old Lyme Science Olympiad team worked relentlessly all year to earn back our title as State Champions for the Science Olympiad tournament but our incredibly talented competitors from Westport advanced to the National Tournament where they will surely represent us, and the rest of the state well.
Our resiliency, perseverance, grit, work ethic, and our immense talent have only grown from this year’s competition and we are looking forward to our next season with excitement and glory.  Until then, we will be celebrating being the 2nd best team in the State of Connecticut because that is quite an impressive honor that we are all incredibly proud of!  Congratulations to all the competitors! J

There are 23 different STEM events in a Science Olympiad competition and the Lyme-Old Lyme teams earned medals in 17 of the 23 events demonstrating excellence across the board.  Our team brought 7 gold medals, 10 silver medals, and 7 bronze medals back to our great community. 
A special thank you to Pfizer and Benchmark Wealth Management who continue to invest in their community by supporting the Lyme/Old Lyme Science Olympiad team.
The Lyme-Old Lyme team would not function without the coaches and mentors who spend so much of their time with our Olympians!
Please thank our coaches every time you see them because without them, our hearts and brains would not be as full as they are now.  We are both smarter and wiser because of our coaches!

Student coaches: Audrey Berry, Ava Berry, Bella Hine, Brynn McGlinchey Connie Pan, Emily O’Brien, Gary Bocian, Kylie Hall, Maddy Maskell, Nate Ramella, Nic Roth, Rachael Larson, Regan Kaye, Ryan McTigue, and Samantha Olson

More from the DC trip

By: Mr. D'Aquila
75 juniors and seniors participated in LOLHS' Biennial DC trip.  The weather was great and the memorials and museums were enriching and powerful.  A few highlights included a night tour of the Lincoln, Vietnam War and Korean War memorials, delicious lunch in the huge USDA cafeteria, up-close looks at our nation's founding documents, a dinner and dance boat cruise down the Potomac, a powerful reminder never to forget with the tour of the Holocaust Museum, and witnessing the solemn changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.  We even got to sneak a peek at a few early blooming cherry trees!  It truly was a memorable trip. 
Current freshman and Sophomores should start planning for the 2021 LOLHS Washington DC trip!
