Science Day — one of Mary E. Roberts Elementary School’s favorite days– was again a huge success. This annual event is organized by teachers Rosemary Anderson and Laurie Fordham in coordination with Home & School.
“Each year I’m amazed by the presentations our parents, former parents and community members create to share their love of science. Their support, along with the Home & School volunteers make for an incredible experience for our students and staff,” Principal Brian Carter said.
This year the event drew many talented professionals from the school community and Moorestown community who generously gave their time and energy to present in such fields as Dentistry, Psychology, Polymers, Medicine, Medical Illustration, Geology, Aerospace Engineering, Pharmaceutical, Biology, Pediatrics, Water Quality, Neurology, Environmental Chemistry, Spinal Surgery and Outer Space. An abundance of parent volunteers were on hand to assist the presenters and support the students during activities.
Gavin Quinn, Moorestown’s K-12 Science Supervisor was also on hand to participate.
“I’m very proud of the effort put forth by the faculty and community members to foster excitement in the fields of science and engineering. Our students were captivated by the presentations and were thoroughly engaged in the activities facilitated by our volunteers. The Home & School Association is a vital part of our school community and I thank them for their support of science education in our schools. I was very honored to be included in this event and I look forward to participating again in the future,” Quinn said.
