What everyone needs to know even if you can't make the event on the 14th.
 
1. All proceeds directly benefit BV and we have had an amazing response from companies, businesses and individuals with over 150 items being auctioned off.  
 
2. We are offering 3 ways to bid/donate to our school during the auction.
  • First is the Online Auction which is available to ALL of BV and beyond (yes you can share this link with friends and family, the more support the merrier).  The online auction OPENS TONIGHT and will remain open until March 14th (7:00PM). Click here for link to begin bidding.
  • Second is the LIVE AUCTION which will only happen at the event on March 14th 
  • Third is the Featured Items which will be made available to the whole community until Friday, March 13th midnight.  Then those Featured Items will be made available to Auction goers only to put in final bids on March 14th during the Silent Auction at the event.  Example: If you are not going to the auction but you were the high bidder for Featured Item #235 your high bid will be the starting bid the night of the auction.  If an auction goer outbids you then they win the item.  If there are no additional bids then you will be awarded the item.

Science Fair is COMING! March 4th

1/23/2019 11:40 am

The All-School Science Fair is Monday, 4 March, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM (and beyond!). 

 

On February 7, all classes will be visited by a "roving band of science-y folks" to show students some fun and easy experiments and answer questions about the Fair and how to enter.  More about these mysterious people to come... In the meantime, get your brains in gear for another exciting Science Fair! Click here for The official and all-informative Entry Form Packet or you may pick one up in the office.

 

Contact me if you have any questions - dwalker@walnutcreeksd.org 

 

Did you know that your financial donations to WCEF and BV PTA make this Science Fair possible?  Your donation to WCEF actually pays for our amazing Science Specialist Deborah Walker salary and PTA funds the presentation boards and the Glow Stick Party!  Without your financial help this event simply would not happen!  Not to mention more importantly without your support of WCEF your child would not have access to Mrs. Walker and her weekly lessons.  Please make your donation to WCEF today if you have not already or if you have more to give.  We all thank you!
