Science Fair Information

The Cowlishaw PTA has just started registering students for the 1st ever Cowlishaw Science Fair! All grades (including Kindergarten) are welcome to participate. The fair will be held on April 11, 2013. We are hoping for a great response from students for this event.

Cowlishaw is joining in the district-wide efforts to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math). Many of the other district 204 elementary school are already doing science fairs, but since this is our first one, we would love to get as many people involved as possible!

An orientation/information night will be tomorrow, Tuesday February 12, at 6:30 PM in the MPR. We also will have paper info/registration packets available on request, and flyers for backpack mail going out in the next week.
