Hello Brassfield Teachers and Staff,

The 2020 STEM Extravaganza (formerly the Math & Science Extravaganza) is on Thursday, Feb 27^th at 6-8pm, with pizza service in the cafeteria starting at 5:30pm (for families that pre-order a whole pizza).  Please talk to your students about the event now and remind them again before the registration deadline on Feb 19^th.

On-line registration is only required for those displaying a research project and/or families pre-ordering a whole pizza. All families are encouraged to attend the event, regardless if you register to display a research project.

Why attend? In addition to viewing the student’s research projects, we will

 have great exhibitors throughout the school, including the Scrap Exchange, 

the American Wildlife Refuge (with live raptors, like owls, hawks, falcons and

 vultures), the Emergency Vet clinic with hands-on stuffed animal surgery and 

more.

Reminders:

·        This event is free to attend.

·        Projects are not judged and open for all grade levels.

·        Group projects are allowed.

·        We are encouraging families to use on-line registration (https://tinyurl.com/brassfieldstem2020), but the paper registration form with 

rules can be printed at https://tinyurl.com/brassfieldstempaper2020.

·        Return any completed paper registration forms to the PTA mailbox in the

 lobby by Wed, Feb 19^th.

Feel free to contact the co-chairs with any specific questions. Contact Jennifer Oldson (oldsonzoo@gmail.com) for general or vendor related questions, or contact Kim Fryar (KimRFryar@gmail.com) for registration questions.  

AGAIN THIS YEAR… The class with the highest percentage of registered participants 

displaying at the event, will receive a FREE PIZZA PARTY!!  

We hope you see you there!
