Dates to Remember

First, I want to remind everyone that on Friday, May 23, and Monday, May 26, there is no school in observance of Memorial Day Weekend.

DNATL Community Science Festival

On Saturday, May 3, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Del Norte County Fairgrounds will come alive with a free, community-wide Science Day. Visitors of all ages can dive into hands-on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) activities, explore a giant walk-around Earth Dome, enjoy an engaging science stage show, and visit local booths offering fun projects, information, giveaways, raffle prizes, and healthy snacks. The festival celebrates science, community, and the collective effort to uplift Del Norte’s youth and families. We hope to see you there.
