SCHOOL FAIR GUIDELINES
There are many different ways to hold
a School Heritage Fair. Ideally, it will be a celebration that
includes the entire school and acknowledges the achievements of all
students. Although the Historica Regional Fair is only open to students
in grades 4 to 9, all ages may create projects and participate in
your School Fair.
IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS
 | Consider holding your Fair during
Heritage Week, the third week in February. |
| Recruit parents and community
leaders to be volunteer judges, and train them in whatever judging
system you have decided to use. |
| Invite clubs and community groups
to attend your Fair and set up displays that will educate the
students about their community. |
| Arrange for publicity, including
the local paper and school newsletter. |
| Allow sufficient time for all
classes to view the student projects; if possible, keep the Fair
open one evening for parents to visit. |
| Plan heritage-related activities
for students that will supplement the Fair and sustain their
interest in history once the event is over. |
| Communicate Heritage Fair
information to all staff members. |
REGIONAL FAIR SELECTION
Whatever type of School Fair you have
held (competitive or display), each
school is responsible for selecting its student projects that will
attend the Regional Fair in Abbotsford. The following guidelines may
help your selection:
| Choose a variety of project
categories |
| Choose a variety of student ages and
sexes |
| Choose projects that are innovative
and creative |
| Choose projects that are visually
stimulating and attractive |
| Choose projects that demonstrate the
excellence of your school |
We strongly suggest
that the student representatives from your school be enthusiastic,
co-operative and willing to follow instructions.
Please be sure that
your students have agreed to attend the Regional Fair for the
entirety of both days, and will follow the schedule.
Remember that the
Student Project Registration, Written Summary,
and Code of Conduct
forms for each student attending the Regional Fair
are due in the MSA Museum office no later than March 14, 2008.
