Greetings, I am addressing this to interested participating families and to teachers and instructors who may know children and families who would like to participate in this type of fair. The information is extremely time sensitive. In the past, your family has expressed an interest or has been involved in the Spring Learning Fair Extravaganza. Due to timing and circumstances beyond my control, I've finally worked out most of the details for this years and it is truly a Spring Extravaganza as check in is on the first day of Spring, Mar. 20th. So please take a look at the information immediately and give me a call if you have any questions. All the details are attached in a Word document. In short. Check in is on Friday, Mar. 20th from 10:30 am to 5:30 pm. at the campus where I teach. Bryant Campus is 910 N. Ash, Spokane, WA. It is at the Intersection of Ash and Broadway, within the tri-angle between the entrance heading south off of Ash onto the Maple Street bridge. (Come West of Boone and turn left - south onto Ash. Go straight in the middle lane rather than merging down onto the Maple Street bridge. You'll see the school on your left and pass the gym and park in parking lot to the south of School. The gym is the 2nd or 3rd door on the left as you come down the hall towards the office. Judging is Monday, Mar. 23rd from 10:30 am to approx. 2:30 pm. Closed to the public. The Fair is open to the public Tuesday, Mar. 24th from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm.

The ribbons and trophies will be distributed and the Fair will close down at 5:00 pm. Entries and displays should be taken down and removed by 5:15pm This is an abbreviated event this year as we are not calling for blanket prizes and a public recital, but should still be a great place for the kids to display their items and projects, receive feed back from a judge and get recognition for their work by other people then just their immediate family.
