FIT FOR A PRINCESS OR PRINCE. The Annual Fairy Tale Ball at Village Elementary School was a big hit, despite being postponed from its original date due to uncooperative weather. Held last week, the event attracted first-grade princes, princesses, knights and other characters from favorite stories, including, pictured here, Laura Kenneally, Mae Hickey, Mairead Murphy and Marlow Hubbard.

MAGNETS, EXPLOSIONS, WORMS AND GOOP: The Math and Science Fair was a big hit last week with first- through fourth-grade students setting up projects on everything from safety in the sun to the solar system, from how a volcano works to alternative power sources. Here, third-grader Ben Anderson shows just how much sugar is in those sweet treats so many of us love to eat during the event in the Coastal Ridge Elementary School gymnasium. The fair was coordinated by parent volunteer Julie Eneman.
