Science Day is coming April 2, 2025!

We need your help!!
Science Day is a huge undertaking, that it cannot be successful without the numerous volunteers who assist each year. Ways you can help:
- Pre-event administrative work
- Volunteering to be a presenter
- Assisting in the classrooms
- More!!
Furthermore, if you have an idea or resource for additional presentations that we might be able to offer or incorporate into our future events, we would love to hear your ideas and suggestions. We are always seeking out fresh, new presentations to expand our repertoire of presenters. It is never too early to get in touch with us regarding this event -- we start planning in the Fall. Send us an email anytime to get involved, help with planning, offer suggestions, or volunteer at the event. All ideas are welcome!

About Science Day
Each year, the Mill Creek PTA organizes and hosts an amazing Science Extravaganza for all students at Mill Creek Elementary. This is a FULL day filled with hands-on science presentations and labs, which allow the students to broaden their knowledge and experiences into areas they may have never thought of or heard about.
We host an average of 25-30 presenters, and grade level rotates through 4-5 different presentations. Presenters range from kindergarteners learning about seals, whales and otters from the Seattle Aquarium, to first graders learning about frogs and toads from the Frog Lady, to second graders connecting the dots via a planetarium experience, to third graders dissecting squid (also lead by brave parent volunteers), to fourth graders performing Krazy Kitchen Science and Wacky Water experiments, to our fifth graders learning how to micropipet: an important lab skill used to measure and transport liquids.
This day is a favorite among students, teachers and parents alike. Anyone who has participated in this day has always expressed amazement and excitement for what it offers their children in the course of a single day. We hope that with this exposure, children might find a new passion or interest in the field of science. The excitement and joy on student’s faces, along with the amazing potluck lunch our community provides for presenters and volunteers, makes our Science Day an event our presenters and volunteers love to return to year after year.
