[School Letterhead] [Date] Dear Parents/Guardians, Re: School Science Fair — Call for Participation and Support We hope this letter finds you and your family in good health and spirits. We are excited to announce that [School Name] will be hosting its annual School Science Fair on [Date] and we invite all students to participate in this enriching educational experience. The aim of our School Science Fair is to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity among our young learners. This event provides an opportunity for students to showcase their scientific knowledge and experimentation skills while gaining valuable exposure to the scientific method. Through this hands-on experience, students will learn to: 1. Identify scientific questions and develop testable hypotheses. 2. Conduct experiments or investigations using scientific methods and techniques. 3. Analyze data and draw conclusions based on evidence. 4. Communicate their findings effectively through displays, visuals, and presentations. The Montana Science Education Standards are closely integrated into our curriculum, and the School Science Fair aligns our students' learning with these standards. By encouraging our students to engage in the scientific process, we aim to inspire a love for STEM subjects and equip them with essential skills for future success. We kindly request your assistance in supporting your child's participation in the School Science Fair. Here's what you can do to help: 1. Encourage your child to select a topic of interest or explore areas they are curious about within the field of science. 2. Assist your child in developing a hypothesis and planning their experiment or investigation. 3. Provide necessary materials or resources required for their project, within reasonable limits. 4. Supervise and guide your child throughout the experiment, ensuring safety and scientific integrity. 5. Help your child compile and present their findings using appropriate visuals and displays. 6. Attend the School Science Fair event on [Date] to support all participating students. We understand that each student's project will vary in complexity and requirements. As such, we have categorized the projects into the following divisions based on grade levels: 1. Elementary Division: — Kindergarten to 2nd Grad— - 3rd Grade to 5th Grade 2. Middle School Division: — 6th Grade to 8th Grade 3.

The guidelines and project proposal template can be accessed through our school website under the science department section. We strongly encourage parents to attend the School Science Fair and engage in conversations with our young scientists about their projects. It promises to be an exciting and educational event for all. Thank you for your continued support in our mission to provide an exceptional educational experience for your child.
