Message from the St. Luke Science Fair Coordinators
Every year St. Luke School holds a Science Fair for students in grades 5 and 6. This event provides students the opportunity to:
- develop inquiring skills
- deepen their understanding of the scientific method
- build their organizational skills
- develop independence
- explore topics that may not be part of the curriculum.
This year, we have 28 students presenting a total of 16 projects for the Science Fair. On Wednesday, February 21st from 11:30 - 15:00, students' projects will be judged and the top four projects will be entered into the City Youth Science Fair. We require 9-10 volunteers to help judge the. If you can volunteer or know of any friends or colleagues who would like to volunteer, please use the following link to sign up https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080F4DAAAE2BA7F94-47462419-stluke
More information about the science fair can be found at: http://www.cysf.org/. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at stlukesciencefair@gmail.com
Thanks for your help,
Jan Owoc and Marie-Claire Arrieta, St. Luke Science Fair Coordinators
