If your project is extra large or fragile and you cannot drop it off in carpool, contact Becky Friedman and Kambry Ruby, who will arrange special drop-off/pick-up.

PROJECT GUIDELINES

  • The maximum size limitation is two feet by three feet.
  • No food or other things that attract bugs should be part of your project. 
  • All projects should be in keeping with the philosophy of the School. 
  • Projects should not reflect pop culture, such as movies, television, video games, or popular music. 
  • Projects may not be handed down from one sibling to the next. 
  • Tri-fold presentation boards (think science fair) are available for sale in the school store, but there is definitely flexibility on how/what your student chooses to present.
  • Contact Becky Friedman and Kambry Ruby with any questions. We would love a heads up on any large/unusual projects.
