Show What You Know!

Monday, March 20th, 6:30PM – 8:00PM at Forest Edge

 

Get ready for our annual Show What You Know expo, where students get to share their favorite topics with friends and families. Students may choose any topic they wish for their projects—sports, science, nature, books, games, anything.  Students can work by themselves or as a team, but each student or team will be limited to one topic. All grades may participate. Students and their families are all invited to attend (parent/guardian must accompany children). The primary objective for students is to have fun, share information with others, and feel a sense of pride for a job well done!

 

Register online at https://fees.ptboard.com/ or complete the paper form in your student's Friday Folder. Don’t delay – select your topic early so that you have plenty of time to create an awesome display!!!
