Elementary Science Fairs Underway

The Washington School PTO kicked off this elementary series last night with their science fair for grades 3-5. Students researched a science topic of interest and presented their findings and projects to their parents and families. We thank the PTO for spearheading these events in our schools. The remainder of the elementary schools will hold their science fairs in the coming weeks - see your school’s website for dates.
