STILL CURRENT

SCIENCE FAIR JUDGES NEEDED

I am in search of volunteers with a strong science background or are involved in a science or engineering career familiar with the steps and process of the scientific method. 

THIS Monday, February 5th from 8:00 to 10:30 is the 7th grade science fair. Students have worked for two and half months researching, setting up, and experimenting on a topic of their choice. I am seeking adult volunteers that would be willing to judge several seventh graders' overall experiment, presentation, report, and display. This would all be judged using a provided rubric. 

One request I have is that if you are the parent, grandparent, or directly connected to any seventh graders you are kindly asked not to volunteer to keep judging as fair as possible. 

If you or someone you know is interested please reach out to Mrs. Kari Nydle at kari.nydle@st-paul.pvt.k12.ia.us. 

Thank you so much for considering!

CAMP SHALOM

If you are looking for something fun for your child or family to do during the summer, find time to attend summer camp at Camp Shalom. Camp Shalom is a non-denominational Christian camp nestled in the woods near Maquoketa. This amazing camp is sure to provide your child with wonderful memories of fun and games, as well as wonderful experiences filled with Christ's love. Camp Shalom also fosters independence, and kids come away feeling more assured of themselves and of their relationships with others, as well as with God! 

The campgrounds include woodland trails, high and low ropes challenge courses, an archery range, canoeing, a soccer field, campfire circles, and more. The staff are committed Christians who seek to serve and nurture faith in others. Certified in first aid and CPR, the staff complete an intensive 2-week training program to prepare themselves to work with campers. If your child has gone to camp, you know how awesome the staff is! 

Camp Shalom is a gift that your children will appreciate for years to come. It can be life changing! Summer Camp Registration now open online. Registration can be found by visiting the Camp Shalom website: campshalomia.org Questions? Email- campshalom@gmail.com

PS- Camp Shalom is hosting a fun Winter Camp THIS WEEKEND! It would be a great opportunity to give camp a try! Find more information on the website.

P.P.S. Camp Shalom is also in need of summer staff for this summer! Young adults who have finished their sophomore year in high school can apply to volunteer as assistant counselors. Young adults who have finished their junior year in high school can apply to be on staff! Working at Camp Shalom is hard, but so rewarding. Most staff members return year after year, and create lifelong friendships. If someone you know may be interested, they can apply at campshalomia.org.
