 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

On Wednesday, February 21^st  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.
