Description
Kent Gardens will again compete in the Virginia Science Olympiad (VASO). We will kick off the year with a parent meeting on Friday, September 5th at 8am, Room 116. A second meeting will be scheduled for the end of September.
Division A is a fun introduction to STEM for 3rd – 4th graders. The Division A tournaments also introduce the younger students to the types of events at the Division BC tournaments (Middle School).
Division A holds multiple half-day tournaments in northern Virginia. Tournaments will be at Oakton High School on 18 April and at Lake Braddock High School on 25 April.
This is a big change from previous seasons. The previous program lasted two months with tournaments in November. It was a race to the finish to prepare in time and still have fun. This year we will have most of the year to prepare with the Division A tournament coming after the Division B Middle School tournaments. This is a welcome change. Please attend the first information meeting on 5 September in Room 116 @ 8:00 AM.
In addition, you can view the 2025-26 event list: https://www.virginiaso.org/events-a. Notice the Kent Gardens students on the landing page! The rules for those events are being finalized and will be posted on September 2. Keep an eye here and on the calendar for further information.
