Indian River Lagoon Awards

Annually the committee judges science fair projects for BPS - grades 4-6th in February. The awards are given to the students that show original thought in trying to solve environmental issues that negatively impact the Indian River Lagoon. This award was started back in 2010 by former League President Fran Baer, who was also the Brevard Federation of Teachers Union President from 1995-2006.
