SUSAN LINDGREN STUDENT SHOWCASE FAIR

Recreation Outdoor Center 
at SLP Rec Center
Register HERE by Friday, May 13
Sign-up to Volunteer HERE
The Student Showcase Fair is an opportunity for Susan Lindgren students to share a topic of interest to them with our school community. Students can work independently or in teams of up to three students to create projects of their own design. Projects can relate to anything—science, art, music, hobbies, world cultures, occupations, athletics, the environment, animals, literature, mathematics—any topic that excites your student!
The Fair is open to all Susan Lindgren students, Kindergarten through fifth grade. The event is completely free; there is no fee to participate or attend.
During the Fair, students will set up their displays and spend a few minutes discussing their project with a parent/guardian volunteer interviewer. This is not a competition and students will not be evaluated on their projects.
Never been to the Showcase Fair? Watch a short video to see what it's like.
Parent/guardian volunteers are needed to help make this event a success. You can sign up to be a greeter, an interviewer, help at the snack table or with taking photos, or overall set-up and tear-down. This is a great chance to meet other parents and students! Sign up here.
Bus transportation to and from the Fair will be available for families; students must be accompanied by an adult on the bus. Bus route information will be shared a week prior to the event.
