Each year as part of Chemists Celebrate Earth Week activities, the American Chemical Society (ACS) sponsors an illustrated poem contest for students in Kindergarten – 12th grades. CSW sponsors a local Illustrated Poem contest. This year’s contest theme was “The Buzz about Bugs: Insect Chemistry.”
CSW is proud to announce that its second-grade entry titled “Bug Power” won the National first place!!
