Creek Valley Imagination Fair






It is time for Creek Valley's students to stretch their imagination, innovation, talent, and creativity to create a project of their dreams and share it with fellow students, family and friends at the Imagination Fair on January 10, 6:30- 8:00 PM.


Purpose

This is not a school assignment, it is the opportunity for all Creek Valley students to have fun with their imaginations! Students can participate individually; team up with siblings or classmates. The Imagination Fair committee will arrange for a special science demonstration for the class with the most participants so students are encouraged to ask their classmates to participate.

  • Describe the project in 1~3 sentences

  • Talk to people who work at jobs related to your topic
  • Gather the necessary material for your project
  • Do the project and have fun!
  • Get your project ready for the Imagination Fair on Tuesday, January 10, 2012
