The Parlin Elementary School held a math and science night on April 16 for students and families. Teachers, students, parents and members of the community who work in math and science-heavy careers were in attendance. Also presenting was the Women in Transportation Seminar, an international organization geared towards getting girls and young women interesting in engineering and transportation careers.
Other companies and organizations from throughout the Boston area gave Parlin students hands-on demonstrations on math and science. More than 100 students and their families attended the event.
