Needed: Parents to judge Gullett Science Fair

November 5, 2007 | Author: clayspinuzzi | Filed under: Events

Parents -- we need you! The Gullett Science Fair, an annual event for our Gullet students, is November 14-15 this year. We need judges! You don't have to be an expert in science to serve -- you'll be given a list of rules or guidelines for judging. Judging will be on the 14th between 11:30am-2:30pm. Kindergartners  and first grade don't participate in the Science Fair, but it's voluntary for second graders and required for third graders and up. Winners go on to the citywide Science Fair, so this is a big deal! If you can help, let Ms. Johnson know and she will pass your name to the Gullett Science committee. Thanks for your time and help!
