San Cayetano is having its annual Science Fair and Family Science Night on Thursday, April 14th, 2001. All of our fourth and fifth grade students will be doing science fair projects. We are inviting everyone to come and judge this event. There is no prerequisite. You do not need to be a science teacher. Please think about donating your time, even if you can only judge 2 or 3 projects. When our students see other teachers and community members judging and taking an interest in their work, it helps them to have more pride in their projects.

We will begin the judging at 12:35 and end around 3:00. Again, you do not need to commit to the entire time.

Please let us know if you are willing and able to join in our event.
Thanks so much,
Brandi Walker
