Science Friday
SciFri (aka, Science Friday) was designed by PTA parents to enhance our students' science experiences. We continue this mission today, working to spark students' passion for science. Unique experts from a variety of fields share their knowledge with our students via events held throughout the school year. These are not drop-off events; rather, SciFri evenings encourage parents to participate and interact with their child(ren).
Did you know?
For the past two years, we’ve relied heavily on vendors for SciFri programming; however, in years past, these events were often spearheaded by interested parents with science backgrounds.
What this involves: Coming up with the content and age-appropriate, hands-on activities.
If you and your child love all things STEAM+, this is a wonderful opportunity to share your passion with the community.
Please sign up to get involved via our volunteer Google Form (tick “Science Fridays” under Education Programs).
