Dear Parents and students,

We had a wonderful time hearing the student’s Science Fair and STEM Fest presentations. We have very creative students. STEM Fest results should be available soon and the district fair is next week.  It was apparent that although this year has been difficult for many students they are still shining brightly!

Please keep in mind that the District Science Fair will be on Saturday,  February 13.

If your student’s project moved up to compete in the district fair, they will need to present their project via google meet.  More information will be sent in the coming week.
