Dear Parents,

The Science Fair / STEM Fest is approaching fast! Let’s make sure our students excel.  Please take a moment to talk with your student about their Science Fair or STEM Fest project.  You may be surprised at the quality work they are doing!

Parents, we need your help!

We are in need of parent volunteers to help us judge the science fair, run the STEM Tables, and assist
Mrs. G with the Escape the Room Math Challenge!  To sign up, please visit the link below:

Thursday is Fair / Festival Day for the next two weeks.  These are the only class days the students will have to work on their projects. We will have only two more days in class for them to work on their research papers, display boards, and their STEM projects.  Please assist your student in remembering to bring in their projects to work on.

Just as a reminder, students cannot make up labs if they are absent, but they can take detailed notes and complete the practice sets for full credit.  I would love to hear any feedback or questions you or your student may have as we move forward in the year.  Feel free to contact me via email at any time.

Thank you again for sharing your wonderful student with us this year,
