Time Frame:  8:30-12:00 – We ask that people sign up for a certain time slot. You can sign up for 30 minutes or the whole morning. 

Deadline:  Oct. 4 – They need to know who can present by this date, so we can create our schedule.

Presenters will be assigned to classrooms that are age-appropriate for 20-25 minutes and then rotate to a different classroom.  It is likely that some classes may be combined for a larger audience.  We welcome hands-on activities, vehicles, visual aids, displays, props, and uniforms.  We can assist with display set-up and technological needs if necessary.  Each class has laptops, smartboards and internet access.
