The 69 Science Fair Projects conducted by Nerge rock star scientists were amazing! We are so proud of each and every student!

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we had to reschedule our Open House event due to the winter storm.  Our new date for Nerge’s Open House is Thursday, March 2 from 5:30-7:00 PM.
