O'Kelly 2026 Science Fair

Tuesday, February 24, 2026 saw the return of the annual École O'Kelly School Science Fair/Expo-Sciences to our school. Judges from the Shilo community spent a part of their morning with 14 scientists and their nine projects learning about their discoveries. The afternoon had fellow O'Kelly Panthers, community members, and families viewing the projects and learning all about hydraulics, using aloe as a preservative, how to make the best bubbles, the best way to grow gummy bears, and much more. 

O'Kelly is proud to announce that this year's Science Fair/Expo-sciences results were are as phenomenal as the projects presented:
