Science Fair!

03/09/2026

Good afternoon Arbor families!

I hope you are well and had a restful weekend. The big day is right around the corner! I hope everything has been going well and your students are getting excited to showcase all of their hard work to the rest of the school and parent community. The boards have arrived and they will be going home with your student today! Please make sure to store them in a safe location leading up to next Thursday. In addition, if any families want to print out labels (hypotheses, procedure, conclusion, etc.), please email me directly, and I will send them home with your student tomorrow.

I will be showing a poster board in science class this weekend, as well as going over how to present using a poster board. Please take the rest of the week to help your student with any finishing touches, and as always, if you have any questions or concerns, please email me directly. We are all so excited, and we thank you for your help and support throughout this process. Happy science fair!

All the best,

Shelby Alston

ATTENTION SECOND GRADE FAMILIES: Due to the fact that we have a large second-year cohort this year, if there are any second-grade students who will be ready and would like to practice presenting on Monday, the 16th, please email me directly.
