Judging will serve two
functions: First to ensure that all requirements have been met for grading.
Secondly to select winners of specific awards such as Best Theme, Most
Interactive, and Others!
They may not have
weapons of any kind from Nerf to paintball to airsoft to knives, etc.
All items displayed are
subject to removal by a teacher or administrator if deemed inappropriate for
any reason.
PARENTS AND STUDENTS ARE
RESPONSIBLE TO CLEAN-UP AND TAKE HOME ALL ITEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR BOOTH AT
THE END OF THE EVENING.
THE JUNIOR HIGH FAIR
DO’S AND DON’TS
DO:
1. Prepare a
creative name sign that includes your first and last name and your grade. The
sign must be at least 11x17, neat, and readable.
2. Work well with your
partner. Your booth will consist of one long table for the two of you, and each
of you will also have a section of lattice work or wall space approximately the
size of a classroom door.
3. Think about how you are
going to decorate your booth. It should be colorful, creative, catch the
judges’ eyes, draw visitors in, be organized and be neat. In the past, students
who have shared a booth have chosen a theme for their booth, but this is not a
requirement.
4. Choose something from
each of your school subjects to display. Include math, history, science,
English, Bible, and one elective class.
5. Make your booth
personal by displaying things that represent your hobbies and interests.
6. **Bring all necessary
materials to school on May 8rd in order to decorate your booth (tape, duct
tape, a staple gun and staples, a staple puller, an extension cord, ETC.)
7. Go overboard on
preparing your booth in terms of what you bring to represent the best of your
Junior High years. This is your time to SHINE!
DON’T:
1. DON’T ASK YOUR PARENTS
(OR ANY OTHER ADULT) TO SET UP ANY PART OF YOUR BOOTH; it really is the Junior
High Fair , so we’d like to see what YOU can do.
2. Don’t bring guns,
knives, or blades of ANY kind!! Pictures of hunting trips are OK, but actual
rifles are not. Pictures of Civil War Reenactments are OK, but swords are not.
3. Do not represent
questionable or potentially offensive sitcoms or cartoons or movies. Although
Sponge Bob or the Simpsons or Twilight (for example) may be OK to watch with
your family, remember that MANY families will be at this event, and not
everyone agrees with the content or the family values portrayed in media such
as these. The most righteous choice is to decorate your booth in such a way as to
not offend ANYONE.
4. Do not display
questionable pictures, or pictures of people dressed immodestly.
5. Do not set yourself up
to have your booth “edited” by Mr. Pearce, Mr. Lugg, and/or other staff because
you chose to ignore the above “don’ts.”
REMEMBER, QUESTIONABLE
BOOTHS OR PARTS OF BOOTHS WILL BE REMOVED AT MY DISCRETION.
Let’s have a
Christ-honoring, fun, and informative night.
It is the responsibility
of each family to remove all garbage, staples, etc. at the end of the evening!
Parents, you can help by:
1. Reminding your student
of the booth requirements:
a. Remember, each student
MUST have a name sign that includes first and last name and grade.
b. Remember, each student
MUST display something from each subject listed under “Do’s” # 4.
- The rest is up to each
student to decide and display creatively.
2. Providing
refreshments for the refreshment table:
a. If your student’s last
name begins with A-M, please provide one dozen cookies.
b. If your student’s last
name begins with N-Z, please provide one 2 liter bottle of Sprite or 7 up.
3. Planning to attend the
fair on Thursday, May 8th from 7:00-8:30.
4. Considering
helping in one of the following ways:
a. We need a refreshment
hostess from 6:30-7:30 to make and serve punch (supplies will be provided).
b. We need someone to pick
up the pre-purchased balloons from Party City (on Grove) and deliver them to
the Gym the afternoon of the event.
d. We need a few select parents
to whom students can go to be checked out immediately following the fair. These
parents’ main focus would be to ensure that all staples etc. have been removed
from the lattice.
Thank you so much
for all that you do!
