One of South

Fulton's students came away a big winner in the school system's science

fair.

Teshawn Ransom,

who attends McNair Middle School, won a microscope for his project named

"The Co-existence Of Oxygen And Carbon Dioxide Consumers."

School officials

said that Ransom has always had a serious interest in science, particularly

space exploration. In fact, the eighth grader got the idea for his science

project while watching an episode of the popular TV series "Star

Trek."

In addition

to being a science lover, Ransom is a member of the concert band and

the school's Talented and Gifted Program.

Ransom is

a mainstay on the principal's list, which is the school's all A's honor

roll.

He and his

sister Kelle are the final two of eight high-achieving Ransoms to attend

McNair. They live in College Park with grandparents Robert C. and Florence

B. Stovall.
