 Congratulations!
Visitation Academy
won second place in the Maryland state finals of the
National Engineers Week Future City Competition! The
contest was held in Baltimore on Saturday, January 26. A
group of 7th & 8th graders worked after school with Mrs.
Holcomb to create a city that would exist 100 years from
now. They developed a city concept, designed it with SimCity
software, gave an oral presentation and presented a scale
model of their design. The model and the trophy will be
on display in the school library at Open House. This is the
first year that the school has entered the competition.
Visitation was the only Catholic school represented and also
the only all-girl school team.
We are very proud of you all.
