Winning has become routine among Arden Middle School students participating at the Science Olympiad. 22 students at the Sacramento school recently took part in the competition's state finals where they nabbed 18 medals, including eleven gold medals.

Students say the trip to nationals will cost them about $20,000. They've raised $11,000 and are due to leave on May 16. Anyone who would like to help can send donations to: Arden Science Olympiad, 1640 Watt Avenue, Sacramento, California, 95864; c/o Mr. Chris Watson.
