Dear
Parents,
On March 9, 2023, Kemp will host our
Science Fair! This year, we would like to provide all students the opportunity
to achieve success in science and enhance interest in science by having as many
Kemp students participate in the Science Fair as possible! In order to make
this successful, students will be judged in their classrooms on March 2. Therefore,
all completed displays need to be in the
classroom by that 7:15 the morning of March 2.
Judges will
select a winner from each classroom and those classroom winners will bring
their projects to the school Science Fair the following Thursday night (March
9). More information will come home with those students at that time. From
these projects, the judges will choose a grade level winner for each grade to
go on to the county level. Please help your child at home to create their
project in accordance with the specifications listed on the back. We appreciate
your support!
Kindergarten
is not able to participate in the county Science Fair but we would love to see
them participate at Kemp! We can’t wait to see the creativity and problem-based
learning from our amazing Kemp students!
Thank
you,
Kemp staff
