Science Fair- Thank you!
Thank you to all of the students who shared their enthusiasm for science with us last Wednesday at the PTO Science Fair! The MPR was filled with creative displays, fun hands-on learning opportunities, and students who were proud to share their work. Our Science Fair event chairs, Marissa Abruzzo and Kerrie Norcia, organized this fantastic evening for our community and we are so grateful for their time and efforts.
