Science Fair and Exhibition is Fast Approaching!

Dear Students and Parents,

The deadline for Student Entry Forms has now passed. If you submitted a form, you can now move forward with your project (assume you are "approved" unless you have received a phone call or email stating otherwise.) In the "Helpful Links and Resources" section to the right, there are two HRES documents for you to download and read: "How To Do A Project" and "How To Construct Your Board." The information contained in these documents are suggested and recommended, but not required. No grades will be assigned and participation is non-competitive. However, each student (or small group) will need to purchase and construct a display board--this is the most organized and efficient way to display information.

Please plan on attending the Science Fair and Exhibition with your child. Student participants should check-in between 5:00 and 6:00 to setup their space, make nametags, and prepare for the event to begin at 6:00. There will be many interactive displays, hands-on activities, and a lot of science to be shared. Stay tuned for a schedule of events and for an assigned time for each student to be posted at their display for interaction with the audience.

Projects may not be taken down until AFTER 8:00 p.m.

We need parent volunteers, so please contact Shelley at shelleyglennlee@gmail.com if you are available and interested.
