The Journey School’s Science and Fine Arts Fair is Friday, May 16, 2025 at 1:00 PM. All students in the school (Kindergarten – 8th) are to participate in the Science and Fine Arts Fair, and will enter an exhibit in one of four categories:
- Science Exhibit
- Writing Exhibit
- Music Exhibit
- Art/Craft Exhibit
These categories are wide in nature, and they are meant to be this way in order for the student’s creativity to flow through the entire project. Each student will only be able to enter one exhibit and must choose an area by Wednesday, January 22nd. Please return the Commitment Sheet note by Wednesday, January 22nd.
Remember there are no kits or pre-made items allowed for the Science and Fine Arts Fair.
Parents and families should be actively involved in these projects! Parent/Family assistance, help, and guidance is needed throughout these projects in order for the students to succeed at their highest level! The possibilities for each category are endless and are up to each individual.
