The 2025 Elementary Science Fun Night, held on March 19, 2025 was a resounding success, bringing the wonders of science to life for students in grades 2-5! Throughout the evening, young learners engaged in hands-on experiments exploring chemical reactions, the mysteries of light, engineering, the science of art, the science of toys, and much, much more. These interactive activities sparked curiosity, excitement, and demonstrated how much fun science can be!
The event was hosted by the dedicated Grade 6 STEMbassadors from Mount Pleasant Middle School, who led engaging demonstrations for a packed audience. Under the guidance of Mrs. Kim Nicolette (Grade 6 Science Teacher) and Dr. Dorian Gemellaro (PreK-6 Supervisor of Science), these student leaders organized and facilitated experiments for the younger students. With enthusiasm and expertise, the STEMbassadors explained the science behind each activity, ensuring a memorable and inspiring experience for all.
