Our students had an amazing time experiencing the Amazing Chemistry Show! 🧪✨

With exciting experiments, surprising reactions, and lots of laughter, students were able to see science come to life right before their eyes. It was a fun and engaging way to spark curiosity and inspire a love for learning.

A big thank you to First Baptist Church of Fort Smith and First Student Ministries for sponsoring this incredible experience for our students. We appreciate your support in helping create memorable learning opportunities!
