With the school cancellations this week, we were unable to hold the planned Science Fair Information Night. The Science Fair Chairs have put together a 17 minute video presentation to help parents better understand how to participate in the Science Fair on Wednesday, March 27th.

 

This video is packed with information about the Science Fair- if you have a question, odds are very high that you will find an answer in the video!  After Mid-Winter Break, we may hold a conference call to answer any remaining questions.  If you would like to participate in the call, please send an email to sciencefair@puestadelsolpta.org to help us gauge interest.
