S.T.E.M. Fair
S.T.E.M. Fair - Friday, February 7th 6:30-8pm
Registration Due: Monday, January 27th
The CES S.T.E.M. Fair is a chance for students and families to work together on a student project that they will share with the CES community. Projects can range from posters to actual hands on experiments or demonstrations-get creative! This is not a competitive event, but an opportunity to explore, learn and have fun!
Completed projects should be brought to the fair the evening of February 7. We will begin set up at 6:00 pm. We will clean up at 7:30pm. Please do circulate and view all of the displays, but we ask that students spend some time to present their own project. There will not be “judges” at this event – projects are neither graded nor awarded. BUT we will but we will have S.T.E.M. experts there to talk with you about your project and what you discovered.
Due to space limitations, we ask that you limit table space to about 24” by 30”, or about the size of a tri-fold poster board. If you are in need of any special considerations, please write it in on the form.
If you have any questions, e-mail Alison Steele at alisonsteele1979@yahoo.com. You can also look for information on the PTO Facebook page. We hope to see you and your family there even if you don’t plan to participate.
Once you have your idea, complete the STEM Fair Sign-up form (going home next week) and send it into school addressed to the CES PTO S.T.E.M. Fair by Monday, January 27th.
All students who participate will be entered into a drawing for some amazing door prizes, so get your registrations in!

596 Columbia Turnpike, E. Greenbush, NY will generate a
$1 donation to Castleton Elementary School PTO!
**Plastic bag ban goes into effect on March 1st so this is a great time to stock up on reusable bags! Spread the word! **
We hope everyone loved the gifts they received from the Holiday Bazaar! Thank you to those that volunteered and sent in donations to make it such a success! If you have donations throughout the year that you are unable to store, feel free to reach out to us and we will gladly store them at school for next year’s event!
