SCIENCE FAIR
Freezing rain or snow—our PTA is on a roll!
We were thrilled to welcome over 140 participants and families who showed up with incredible projects, making this year’s Science Expo our best yet. Each year truly gets better and better.
From hands-on activities by Argonne National Laboratory, the STEAMdream Team, and the RoboLab Launch Pad, to smooth judging and check-in, everything ran right on schedule.
We are deeply grateful to our amazing parent volunteers and Neuqua Valley High School students who helped the event run without a single hiccup. Special thanks to Richa Singhal for Chairing the event.
This event was powered by months of planning, lots of hard work, endless creativity, and tons of raffle prizes! A huge thank you to Mrs. Jerger for masterfully running crowd control and keeping everything flowing seamlessly—we couldn’t have done it without you! 💙
AT&T - Ready, Tech, Go!
We are grateful to everyone who attended and to all the volunteers who helped make our Tech Talk session a success.
A special thank you to Ms. Pamela George from the Naperville Police Department for sharing valuable insights on navigating the online world and highlighting important things for parents to be mindful of.
We are also thankful to Ryan Lauterwasser from KidsMatter for his engaging and delightful presentation.
This event would not have been possible without the generous support of AT&T and the National PTA $2,500 grant, along with the fantastic swag provided.
