Science Fair News
Dear Parents and Students,
Here it is—the news on the science fair, state science fair, and the Science Fair News.
The dates of the science fairs have changed so that they will avoid spring break and testing (April 1, 2, and 3). Denali’s Science Fair will be April 7 – 10, and the State Science Fair will be April 11-13.
The newsletters use the 6 week plan, and there are 6 weeks until the first day of science fair if you don’t count spring break.
This introduction and 1st newsletter is being sent out to all classes. After this the newsletters will be available on the website and at the table in the main hall. Look for the rest of the newsletters on the website after this week.
If you do wish to receive a copy of each newsletter in the Thursday folder, please fill out the form attached to this introduction and return it to your or your child’s teacher or to the basket in the office.
Happy Experimenting!
The Science Fair Committee
(Melissa Mathis and Sonya Davis)
