Held in our gymnasium, this traditional-style fair provides an opportunity for you to connect with students in a more informal setting. All students in our building and our 8th graders are invited to attend the fair.
Each organization will have a small table (4’x2’)* for materials and displays. *We have a limited # of larger 8’x 2 ½’ tables available as well. Participants can also bring their own display table.
Many participants find the Fair is even more meaningful after engaging with students during the morning sessions.
