Florence Roche PTA & Swallow Union PTO invite you to participate in the 2026 Groton-Dunstable Elementary Science Fair!

The fair will be held at Florence Roche on Saturday, March 14 beginning at 9:30 a.m. Students in grades K-4 are eligible. 

Be a scientist for a day! Watch our 2025 Science Fair Video to see what it's all about. Students complete a scientific project at home, design a display, and share their discoveries with judges and peers. The day is fun, rewarding, and full of excitement! Families can explore hands-on Learning Centers hosted by community organizations. New this year, enjoy a Wacky Science Show while judges finalize awards! Snacks and pizza will be available for purchase.

Registration is open now through February 24. Space is limited to 100 students, so register early. Science Fair Registration

There is a non-refundable $10 registration fee to help cover the cost of the fair. If your family needs assistance with this fee, please reach out to your school principal. If you have any questions, please email gdk4sf@gmail.com

We hope to see you there!
