“Are you smarter than a 5^th grader?”

President’s Day Event---Feb. 21, 2011 1:00-3:00

At the new Botanical Center, 2400 S. Scenic

For the Liberty School Move & Restoration Project to the Gray/Campbell Farmstead at Nathanael Greene Park
*************************************************************
All fifth grade classes are invited to participate in a challenge about U S Presidents against VIP’s on President’s Day while enjoying a day out of school. Five 5^th graders will represent all 5^th graders and will receive recognition. The outstanding 5^th grader, determined by the most correct answers, will win $100.00 for their class to purchase something the class will decide on with direction from the teacher. Many of the classes have made field trips to the Farmstead and learned how their ancestors lived and worked. We are working to move a one-room school, Liberty, from north of Springfield to the farmstead. Sponsors will provide prize money for the VIP’s to earn for the project while attempting to answer questions about our U. S. Presidents.

Guidelines for participation are as follows:

U.S. Presidents. If a run off is needed within the school due to more than one fifth grade class, have that competition or decision among the classes.
