SPecial Science Events

Some of the most popular activities at our school revolve around science. Every Spring, the community puts on Science Night, an evening that engages families in lots of kinds of scientific projects.

In May, our 4th and 5th grade students prepare projects for the Sylvia Mendez science fair, and the entire school community can observe these projects at our school wide Open House.
