East Side Elementary School held its annual school science fair on March 13th. Students from many classes presented their very own projects and experiments.

During an after-school event, students of all ages had the privilege of participating in a variety of hands-on activities provided by The Discovery Center of Murfreesboro.

Many families came to join in the fun. Activities included viewing of projects, fossil identification, microscope investigations, as well as other interesting topics.

A special thank you to Bobby Couch and Manchester Physicians Group for providing the award ribbons for class winners as well as the snacks for the event.
