Each spring, our school looks forward to one of the most exciting academic events of the year, the 5th Grade Science Fair. This year’s event was held on Wednesday, April 16, in Bishop Hall, where all 44 student projects were proudly displayed. After weeks of hard work and preparation under the guidance of Ms. Dallapizza, our fifth graders were ready to share their scientific discoveries with the entire school community.
Students were responsible for every part of the process, from developing their own project ideas and hypotheses to conducting experiments, collecting data, and drawing conclusions. Each project was displayed with a carefully crafted posterboard outlining the student’s scientific journey from start to finish.
Throughout the day, classes from every grade level signed up to visit Bishop Hall and learn from our young scientists. As guests walked from project to project, students stood by, ready to explain their work and answer any questions. Their confidence and enthusiasm were evident as they shared what they had learned through hands-on experimentation and analysis.
In addition to school visitors, a panel of judges evaluated each project, looking at both scientific thought and presentation. We’re proud to announce this year’s winners:
1st Place – Kami A.
2nd Place – Fin R.
3rd Place – Mason K.
While we celebrate the winners, we are equally proud of every student who participated. Their effort, curiosity, and creativity truly shined bright. Events like this remind us of the value of hands-on learning and the joy of discovery.
Thank you to Ms. Dallapizza for her leadership and to all the families and visitors who came to support our students. We already can’t wait for next year’s fair!
