Loring Science Fair

Loring Cafeteria & Gym

Project registration is live on the PTO website.

Registration is free (scholarships may be available for projects, contact Karen Blumberg).

** Tshirt sales have now closed **

We need your help to make the Science Fair a success - spots for cleanup are still available!  

Science Fair Volunteer Signup - Click Here

Email our Science Fair team if you'd like to participate as a Guest Scientist.  

The Science Fair Website has all of the information you'll need to get started, including important dates, project guidelines, project ideas, and FAQs. This is a time for students to explore and embrace science in a non-competitive environment.  All students will receive a small prize and have the chance to present their project to a guest "scientist". 

We hope you'll join us for this fun event!

1st Grade Creative Enrichment: Muriel Johnson

3/19/2025 1:25 pm

Last week, the first graders enjoyed an amazing story telling experience with Muriel Johnson! Ask them how the old woman escaped from the animals (she rolled down the hill in a giant pumpkin) and the name of the magic tree (Uwungelema). Thanks to our 1st Grade CE coordinators, Morgan Freiman and Lauren Pond, for working with staff to bring this program to Loring!  Your financial support of the PTO makes these programs possible.

Chemistry Lab with the Discovery Museum: 5th Grade CE

3/19/2025 1:24 pm

Our 5th graders enjoyed an amazing Chemistry Lab program by The Discovery Museum last week. The students learned about the pH scale, the difference between an acid and a base, and chemical reactions in this hands on workshop. Very cool stuff!

Thanks to our 5th Grade Creative Enrichment coordinator, Rachel Heckler, for scheduling this program and to all of you who support the Loring PTO, making these programs possible.
