The Discovery Science Fair

This exciting program, orchestrated by the Newtown Junior Woman’s Club and possible through the dedicated efforts of community volunteers and generous donations of Newtown Savings Bank, The Dock, Inc., and Taunton Press, has evolved to promote the children’s interest in the sciences.
