SUPER SCIENCE SATURDAY
Free Event is Saturday, March 12, at RHS

All Ridgewood Public Schools students are invited to present any type of science project.
Full details of the day, including registration forms, can be found on the Super Science Saturday website at www.supersciencesaturday.org.
Super Science Saturday, hailed as the “Greatest Science Extravaganza in Northern New Jersey,” brings fun and excitement to science through professional presenters and student projects. As a joint project of the Ridgewood Board of Education and the Super Science Saturday Volunteer Committee, we aim to bring all science lovers together for a day of fun and learning for all ages.
Super Science Saturday was started in 1989 by Mr. Jim Wallace, a sixth grade science teacher at Ridgewood’s Benjamin Franklin Middle School. What began solely as a science day for students has evolved into a broad experience for children, adults, and families from all over the tri-state area.
Though Mr. Wallace has since retired from the Ridgewood Public Schools, his small idea has grown to a day that brings over 1,500 area residents together to celebrate science. As we look to “reinvent” Super Science Saturday this year, we increasingly rely on the community to provide support before and during the event. Parents, students and teachers have all taken a role in making this day a success.
