Locust Valley Central School District

Eighty-seven third, fourth and fifth grade showcased their curiosity, ingenuity and thoughtfulness at the First Annual Bayville Intermediate and Locust Valley Intermediate Joint Science Fair on March 31.

The students, who created 45 projects ranging from building the most aerodynamic paper airplanes to creating biological batteries, demonstrated their experiments and findings to a team of high school judges from Mr. Lou DeRose’s science research class.

Thank you to all the student participants, judges, principals, Mr. DeRose, Ms. Dana Schultz and our parent councils for making this event so successful. Congratulations to all our participants and this year’s winners.
