Interested students will be bringing home information about the science fair today.

The first two pages are for you to keep at home as a reference, and the third sheet needs to be completed and returned to either Ms. Swinton or Ms. Drummond by Wednesday, November 20, along with $14 for the trifold. (One trifold per project.) Students have asked if they can bring their own trifold; the answer is yes, as long as it meets the city science fair guidelines. Trifold measurements, along with other important information and tips, can be found on the city science fair website, which all participating students are encouraged to check out (http://cysf.org/students/ ). The frequently asked questions section (http://cysf.org/students/project-faq/ ) will be particularly helpful. If you have any science fair related questions, please direct them to Ms. Swinton (fcswinton@cbe.ab.ca ) or Ms. Drummond ( madrummond@cbe.ab.ca ). Thank-you for your support in this!
