 Science FairBy Katrina This year on March 9th, 2000, Ralph Brown School had to have the Science Fair in the hallways due to the gym being painted. The organizers of the Science Fair were Mr. Chubey and Mr. Charney. This year 63 Science Fair projects were entered and only a few could be picked to enter in the Tec Voc Science Fair. Congratulations to all the people who entered the Science Fair and a special congratulations to the people who won in this years Science Fair. There were a lot of judges including some of the teachers. Each student that competed was judged three times! Some people won first place, second place, third place and some people were luckily enough to get an honorable mention. We want to thank all the people that entered the Science Fair and Mr. Charney and Mr. Chubey for all their hard work. There were a lot of interesting projects that entered this year. Some of the projects that won 1st place were best filters, puma, one about the flavors of ice-cream and many others. You had your basic Science Fair projects there such as space, volcanoes, electricity, gravity and of course crystal formation plus many others. There were different projects there such as how birds fly, wild horses, a project about pioneers, weighing scales and many others. Everybody that entered in the Science Fair even if the won first place or something got a Participation ribbon. They were all very well done and even if you did not win anything you should be proud especially if you entered in the competitive section and have to go through that long wait. The judges had a lot of projects to judge so we would like to thank them as well. They did a very good job in judging all 63 projects! The Science Fair was a success thanks to all of them. Thanks again and congratulations to the people who won! People who did not win better luck next year. Book Fair On March 2 and 3, the Ralph Brown Library held a Book Fair. The Book Fair had books such as Pokemon Handbook, Animorphs and many more! It also had posters and accessories! This years Junior Achievers helped set up the books and cases.

Thank you Junior Achievers! Tour of St. John's High On Thursday March 16th, the grade 6 students of Ralph Brown had a tour at St. John’s High. The grade 6 students got a little idea of what St. John’s is like. The students from Mrs. Duffy’s class and the grade 6’s from Mr. Charney’s class went on the tour. They went to St. John’s and got to see where the classes were, and got to meet some of the teachers that work there. They got to see the cafeteria. They got to see what kind of subjects they could choose from. They even got to see our former grade 5 teacher, Mrs. Barr. Most of the grade 6 students are going to St. John’s.
