Cahill Elementary Ignites Curiosity with Successful First Science Fair
More than 40 students took part, creating 35 creative and thoughtful projects (with some working in pairs!). From asking big questions to designing the experiments and sharing their results with judges, students truly embraced the role of young scientists.
Our youngest learners in grades K–3 also joined in, proudly showcasing their curiosity and love for science.
A special thank you to the teachers who stayed after school to support students every step of the way—your dedication made this event even more meaningful.
All participants earned a ribbon, with additional awards and certificates for those who went above and beyond.
Principal Laura Cahill shared that the Science Fair was a huge success—and the best news? It will come back again next year!

Cahill was full of energy and creativity at this year’s “Cahill’s Got Talent” show! Thanks to the PTA’s support, students had the opportunity to share their unique talents—from singing and dancing, to magic tricks, to impressive piano and violin performances. They took the stage during the school day for their classmates and again in the evening for proud families.
Cahill Elementary School sparked curiosity and discovery with its very first Science Fair—and what a success it was!
