SRLA Science Fair

Last Friday, our 3rd–8th graders wowed us with their creativity and curiosity at the annual Science Fair! This year’s theme, Sustainable Energy, inspired an impressive range of projects—from geothermal energy and potato power to water wheels and clean water solutions. Students proudly displayed their work and shared their findings with curious visitors throughout the day. It was a fantastic celebration of innovation, learning, and scientific thinking!

 

Congratulations to our winners: 

 

Fifth grade - Ava Benjamin, Liam Mattson, and Aubrie Summers. 

Sixth grade - Carys Jones, Perren Thomas, and Valery Torres. 

Seventh grade - Joseph Bahomda, Allyson Gbologa, Glea Lago, and Amelia Marin. 

Eighth grade -Emme Jensen, Malcolm Spitser, and Emelia Trombino. 

 

Overall: 

First Place: Joseph Bahomda, Allyson Gbologa, Glea Lago, and Amelia Marin. 

Second Place: Carys Jones, Perren Thomas, and Valery Torres. 

 

Wish Upon a Star is TONIGHT!

We can't wait to see everyone at Orange Lawn Tennis Club tonight for a night of 80s fun, great food, and incredible auction prizes—all to support SRLA!

 

First, Third, Fifth, and Eighth Grades earned the prize of channeling the 80's spirit in a dress down day today...and tonight it's your turn!

 

Didn’t grab a ticket but suddenly feeling the FOMO (or a little guilt)? It’s not too late to buy a last minute ticket or sponsor the event —every bit helps make this night a success!

 

Thank you to the HSA and our dedicated Wish Upon a Star Committee for all of your work on this event!
