Community Night for Science

By Maya Thakkar, Public Relations, Senior (grade 12)

The Science Night Banner was created by all three participating elementary schools.

Science Night was held on April 10th at Saint Charles East High School, where three D303 elementary schools attended to learn more about all things science. Davis, Fox Ridge, and Munhall Elementary schools joined forces to create the unique experience hosted by St. Charles East High School in the Sports Complex. Science National Honor Society members ran a variety of stations, each featuring unique experiments for the kids. Experiments showcased a variety of scientific principles, including Newton's laws, optics (reflection and refraction), chemical reactions, magnetism, and more. Sponsors like Fermilab, American Science and Surplus, and Illinois Science and Math Academy (IMSA) also participated in the event. With 500+ total attendees and 50+ STEM-related activities, this event was a major success for the Science National Honors Society, D303, and the St. Charles community.

After several years of separate elementary events, St. Charles East HS hosted the inaugural community wide event in the school sports complex.
