The science teams of Newton South HS and Newton North HS are large (more than 30 students each), open to all interested students, mostly student-run, and very successful in a wide range of events.  In last year’s State Science Olympiad, they came in second and third place statewide, respectively.  The teams support students to develop scientific inquiry skills, to increase their content knowledge, and most critically to work together collaboratively as a team.

The students pay fees and conduct fundraisers to cover the costs of competition registrations, books, tools, and materials.  They also pay a $125/person club fee to NPS.  The two teams are seeking local sponsors — businesses or individuals — to help with the $1700 annual cost of bus transportation to competitions.  The teams share buses, which are not paid by NPS.

If you would like to help keep these teams strong, please make a contribution by sending a check (made out to “City of Newton” with “Science Team Bus” in the memo) to:
