Science Fair season has arrived in Humble ISD and students from Kindergarten through 12th grade are making exciting discoveries in their classrooms and at home. "Hundreds of students throughout the district will be presenting their science projects over the next three months," explains Dr. Aaron Clevenson, former school board trustee and science fair coordinator. "We are looking for volunteers from the community to help judge the projects that these young people have worked so hard on." Can you help? MBE needs to send judges to three campuses: Greentree Elementary (March 6th), Pine Forest Elementary (March 7th) and Timbers Elementary (March 25th). The fairs start at 8:00 am with a brief training. Judges should plan to be at the campus until about 2:00 pm. Host schools will provide a breakfast, lunch, and drinks. If you are interested in volunteering at one of these fairs, please send an email to Cathy Blayney.
