It's STEM fair time! The STEM fair is a long-standing tradition at MRJH. This is a great opportunity for our talented science & engineering students to show off their skills and over the years we have had many MRJH students win top honors and prizes at the regional level.
This exciting event, however, is not possible without the help of parent and community volunteers who generously give their time to come judge the projects. The science fair will be held from 9 am to approximately 1:30 pm on Wednesday, January 21st in the media center. Judges are not required to have a background in science. Parents and older siblings of participants are allowed to judge the fair as long as they are not judging the group their student is in. Other community volunteers such as retirees or young adults that have graduated from high school are also welcome. If you are available or know someone who would like to be a judge, please contact me. We would REALLY, REALLY appreciate the help!
