Save the date for Wednesday, February 20th!  
Registrations for The Science Expo are starting to come in, and you won't want your student to miss out!  All students are encouraged to participate, and it's great practice for our 5th graders who will be headed to middle school next year.  Students conduct an experiment and create a display to share their findings. This gives students a chance to apply the science skills they are learning in school while further investigating an area of interest to them.  The Expo is non-competitive, so the focus is on learning and having fun!  The Expo will be February 20th, 6:00-7:00 (with setup from 5:30-6:00). 

To learn more about how your child can participate including project guidelines, available resources to help you get started, and registration info, visit our website at carpenterpta.net/science-expo. All students must register by February 15th; to register click here or follow the link below. 

The Science Expo is Open to All!
If your child isn't ready to dive in and prepare something for the Expo, that's okay, we hope you and your family will join us anyway!  We'll have a scavenger hunt and raffle baskets to give away, and it's always great fun for the kids to see what their peers have come up with!  Make sure to come a little early to attend our PTA General Membership meeting at 5:30.  The Expo will start right after that at 6:00.

If you have questions, please email the event chair, Adam Short, at cessciexpo@gmail.com.
