Science Fair News

The MMS Science and Engineering Fair is happening this Thursday, February 11th, from 5:30-7:30pm.  We are asking for students to be there for at least a half hour to have their project judged.

Today, most students were handed a timeslip indicating the half hour window of time when a judge will stop by their project and evaluate it.  Students are expected to stand near their poster during this timeframe until judged.  If this time works for you and your family, great!  If not, please return the bottom portion of the slip with the student's name and 30 minute time interval that you'd like.  There is no guarantee that you'll get this exact time.  The faster you can return the form the better.

If students can stay for the full two hours that is even better!  We hope that students take advantage of this opportunity and look at other student's work.  If you have any questions, please email me at rdecicco@mymtsd-vt.org or call 893-5511.
