Dear Greenwood Families,
The Health and Science Fair for this year will be held in February, rather than in our
usual timeframe in May. You’ll be getting your application packet and newsletter
shortly after school starts back up in January – but for now we wanted to provide
you with some great ideas for science projects in case you and your students want to
start thinking about this over Christmas break. Search for these topics on google for
more tips and ideas on getting started!
