Science in the School Day

Mayor Bob Walkup honored our school by participating “Science in the School Day”.  All 4th and 5th graders prepared their cars by using paper, paper clips, 4 life savers and 3 straws. Also Mayor Bob Walkup did his own car. All of us had lots of fun and see future engineer’s wonderful car designs.  As of January 2010, 140 mayors across the country have participated. *Science in the School Day* is an effortless way for a mayor to open up a new world of possibilities for students and possibly influence more kids to choose to explore fields in math and science. Mr.Emrah handed a plaque to Mr.Walkup for the memory of the day. Thank you to Mayor Bob Walkup for choosing our school for this special event.

Science Fair was a great success. All students worked hard and made their projects ready to Science Fair. As a Math, Science and Technology school, one of the most  important component of our Science curriculum is Science Projects. It teaches students how to work on a long term assignment and how science researches take place. SARSEF was a great success for SSA-Broadway. Congratulations to all students.
