The annual Lombard District 44 Science Fair, featuring projects from students in kindergarten through eighth grade, was held April 30. The event was held in person for the first time since 2020 (last year’s science fair was virtual due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Additionally, April 30 marked the first time the fair took place at the district’s new Connect 44 Center.
