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".

Thank you Loring for another Pawsome Food Pantry last week! We may not have set the March record, but we collected 48 boxes, which was a 10 box improvement from February. Thank you for your generosity!
Thank you to Ms. Snay and her 4th grade class for a wonderful job! And thanks to our parent volunteers who took the time out of their day to help out - Laura Warren, Katie Carroll, Marissa Cole, Caroline Archambault, Dana Roth, Cara Brill, Caitlin Naton, and David Larson!

4th Grade Creative Enrichment: Archaeology 4 Schools
3/12/2025 12:02 pm
Archaeology 4 Schools visited our 4th graders this week! After learning about what archaeology is in general, the students focused on the importance of pottery in archaeology and how it helps teach us about the diets, technology, spiritual beliefs, trade routes and daily life of ancient people. The students then got to experience some aspects of archaeology first hand! They decorated pots, which were then purposefully broken and they had to attempt to piece them back together, just as an archaeologist does!
Thanks to our 4th Grade CE coordinator, Lauren Hargrove, for planning.
Your support of the PTO made this program possible!
