MSD of Steuben County

Have you ever wondered which drinks stain your teeth the most, or if the color of paint affects its drying time? These fascinating questions—and many more—were explored at the annual District Science Fair held last night at Hendry Park Elementary! Twenty-seven curious young scientists, from 1st to 5th grade, proudly presented their projects, sharing their hypotheses and findings with our panel of inquisitive judges. Congratulations to all of the participants for their hard work and creativity! Our top outstanding participants, will advance to the Regional Science Fair at Trine University on March 16th. Keep up the great work, and never stop seeking answers!

ALL after-school activities have been cancelled today 2/12/2025 due to potential inclement weather this afternoon. Thank you! Be safe if you are out this evening!

Pigskin Geography is a collaborative learning opportunity for Hendry Park 5th graders. About once a week during football season, students gathered to use maps of all types and the current week's NFL schedule to learn and practice geography, math, and reading skills. They learn about state locations, nicknames, abbreviations, and which states and cities have NFL teams. They learn about highways, time zones, rivers, climates, populations, and more. Just before Thanksgiving break, we celebrated all of their hard work with a tailgate party! Traditional tailgate foods were provided and there were board games, cards, puzzles, and yard games for lots of fun.
