Volunteers and Visiting Scientists Needed
The Science fair committee is looking for volunteers and Visiting Scientists for the Science Fair. Volunteers are needed to work on small tasks at home, to set up and clean up, and/or assist during the science fair. Visiting Scientists are needed to observe the science fair projects, listen to the students descriptions of the projects, and to provide positive feedback. If you are interested in helping with this fun event please contact Jeremy Cooper at JeremyCooper2009@hotmail.com. Thank you!
There are two methods to register for the Science Fair. The preferred method is by sending an
e-mail to Jeremy Cooper at jeremycooper2009@hotmail.com.
The alternate method is to fill out the registration form
and return it to school no later than January 6, 2012. If registering by e-mail, please be sure to include the child's name, T-shirt size,
teacher, phone number, and project question (use the registration
form as a guide).
Once you e-mail Jeremy or fill out the registration form ,
you are registered in the science fair. After you register, view the
information packet which will include experiment guidelines and information that you will need to share with our visiting scientists.
All students are eligible to participate. Parents, if you have any questions please contact Jeremy

- Committee Description:
- Participating students prepare a science fair project to be displayed on tri-fold cardboard. They submit
their science questions to be published in a program. At the event three “visiting scientists” will visit
each student, ask them questions about their project, and give them written positive feedback. At the end
of the event each student is recognized and given a ribbon.
- The Science Fair committee organizes this event. With its initial flyer, the committee determines
which students are interested in participating. To the participating students, the committee sends home
the science experiment information, t-shirt and cardboard displays, recruits “visiting scientists” (teachers
and parents) to evaluate each science experiment, and prepares a printed program showing where each student’s
display is to be set up. On the evening of the event, the committee sets up and breaks down the tables in the
cafeteria and gym, checks in scientists, hands out brochures at the door, and provides refreshments during the event.
- The PTA provides funds for this event.
