All students in grades K-5 are encouraged to join the Science Club, which meets for monthly events on weeknights and occasional off-site daytime events on weekends. The Science Club’s “main event” is the annual Science Fair in the Spring. Students who participate in five (5) or more Science Club events AND enter a project in the Science Fair will be recognized at our end of the year Science Club party!
This year’s Science Club Co-Chairs are Elana Norman, Jeffrey Ovadya, Svetlana Meyerzon, and Dolly Hodes.
They can be reached via email at franklinsciclub@gmail.com
They would love to hear your ideas for this year’s programming!
If you have questions or want to be placed on the Science Club list please email them.

This is a wonderful opportunity for our curious Franklin students to ask a question, and design an experiment to find the answer - ALL Franklin students are encouraged to participate! This is such an exciting event, and always has a wide range of fun projects presented. Come visit on Open House evening to see everyone's creative work!
Please see attached guidelines for all the details.
*As a reminder... If your child attends 5 meetings during the year AND participates in the Science Fair, they will qualify for end of the year recognition. Those who do this for 6 consecutive year (K-5) will earn a special award at the end of 5th grade!
