Dear Blossom Hill Families:
As we begin 2022, let's "Bee Curious." We are excited to again hold our anuual Blossom Hill Science Fair. The goal of the Science Fair is to instill a love of the scientific method of inquiry in every student and promote a positive learning experience by giving students an opportunity to ask questions, solve problems, set goals, manage projects, think critically, and have fun. The Science Fair is open to all students at all grade levels. Registration begins next Wednesday, January 12th.
