Please see the message below regarding the regional science fair on Tuesday:
"It looks like the weather isn't going to cooperate with us on Tuesday so we have decided to go virtual this year for the safety of our participants. Brookings looks to get somewhere between 9 and 20 inches of snow with 30 mph winds. We are working to finalize a Zoom schedule for Tuesday as soon as possible and I will send it out this afternoon. Mr. Kruse will be emailing out the zoom sessions and posting them on teams as he gets the information. If we have school on Tuesday, students can do the sessions in class. If school is cancelled students may still participate in the fair from home if they wish."
