Imagination Fair Registration -- Date Change

The Imagination Fair has a new date - Tuesday, March 8th! This means registration will open Friday, February 26th.
Our Annual Imagination Fair is an opportunity for Normandale students to showcase their experiments, inventions or creations. All Normandale students from Kindergarten through 5th Grade are invited to participate. Students may work alone, in pairs, or in a group. The 2016 Imagination Fair will now be held on Tuesday, March 8th.
Don't know where to start? Projects don't need to be complicated. Let your imagination, creativity, and inventiveness guide you. Explore whatever interest you have at this moment.....nature, mechanics, art, technology, fashion, chemistry, photography, animals, weather, crafts or any hobbies.

This year, we would like to invite 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Families to donate items that will be sold. All proceeds will be used to help the community of Lougou, Haiti through the organization COFHED.
If you would like to donate items for the garage sale, here are the guidelines:
- Donate something from your workplace, like old office supplies

- No stuffed animals
- Only E or G rated CDs, DVDs, and game disks
- No broken toys or toys with missing parts
- No items that require trying on (ice skates, soccer shoes, etc.)
- If items have multiple parts, please label the items (tell us what they are) and put all the parts in a clear plastic bag so parts do not get misplaced

Please bring your donations to any 3rd grade teacher February 17th-19th. MERCI!
