Dear Parents :

Greetings ! The PHILIPPINE SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL - Main Campus willcelebrate its annual SCIENCE FAIR from January 23 to 27 ,2012. This major activityaims to feature and recognize outstanding student projects and student excellence in the

science, math, computer & technology subjects. It will also provide the opportunity for the

PSHS community to reach out and interact with students and teachers from other schools

in Metro Manila and the nearby provinces.

Customarily, we conduct fund raising projects to support the wonderful programs that are

not fully covered by the school budget. However, considering many options, the easiest

and most convenient way to raise the needed money for the fair would be just to lay it at

the parents' feet and ask if we can all work together to share this burden.

'To allow us to logisticatly prepare early on for this celebration, we have decided to ask ifeach parent could contribute P300.00 by August2z,z0lI so we will have enough for allthe activities that will be carried on through the entire week.

For more information, please contact the undersigned at 400-3441 I 929-1603 (telefax) or(0927)979-1994. You may also email at sciencefair20L2@pshs.edu.ph.

Than-k 1,ou for taking the time to read this letter, and whether you are able to girre or not,

know that we deeply appreciate your dedication.to supporl your child in this highlyrespected school.

May God bless your generous hearts.

Sincerely yours,

AFE

Let me thank you in advance for giving your kids, our kids, the opportunity to experience the joyof sacrificing and serving for others.

l. The first Science Teachers Summit - An overnight seminar-workshop to be participated by the best

Please allow me to present the list of tentative activities for the SCIENCE FAIR 2012 as follows:

1. The first Science Teachers Summit - An overnight seminar-workshop to be participated by the bestteachers from the Philippine Science High School and other Science High Schools. Benefitingfiom speakers with extensive teaching experience abroad, our teachers will be sharing their bestteaching practices and strategies that have been proven to have accelerated the student classroomlearning experience. This activi[z will also include a half day tour of the Metro Manila sciencemuseums for teachers from the provinces. Participants will be encouraged to echo the same to theircolleagues.

2. Exhibits featuring the various PSHS student outstanding projects and researches in Biology,Chemistry, Computer Science and Technology, Earth Science, Environmental Science,Mathematics, Research, and Physics. The " Best of the Best " of which will be displayed at theMulti Purpose Gyrn.

3. Inter High School and PSHS Inter Level competitions in the above-listed subjects.

4. An Interscholastic Science Congress (ISC) Symposium which will also include among others thediscussion on Republic Act 10055 : Philippine Technology Transfer Act of 2009. An act providingthe framework and support system for the ownership, management, use, and commercializationof intellectual properly generated from research and development funded by the government forthe benefit of national economy and taxpayers and for other purposes.

5. Career Fair - top 10 universities & colleges and prominent professionals will inspire and motivate ourstudents and guest students to pursue careers in science and technology. They will also featuretheir best engineering and science products or projects.

6. Mini Fair - an application of engineering and science organized to provide entertainment to our studentsand guests at the tennis and basketball courts including the field's perimeter .

7. Corporate Exhibitors - companies where PSHS graduates are currently employed or where ourengineering and science graduates would seek employment with will showcase their bestproducts and projects.

8. Campus Tour - featuring the eleckonic jeepney or e-jeep transporting our students and guests to andfrom the different areas and facility of the school. For a safe, secure and proper crowdmanagement and as an outreach of PSHS students, they will guide visiting guests as follows :

Thus, our public school studentscan benefit from our PSHS sfudents through an "Outside Classroom Learning Experience".

9. Freshmen Outreach Program - where PSHS 1" Year Techprep students will teach 30 indigent andunschooled children on how to create simple engineering toys using recycled materials. They willalso donate to the children some of their "engineering toy" projects.

10. Band Night - featuring some of our faculty members and students , joined by PSHS graduates,

showcasing their talents in the science of music.

11. Stargazing - an overnight activity for the freshmen conducted annually by the Physics Department.This may include a parenting seminar for the freshmen parents.

... and many more !!!

Indeed, we will not be able to make all these happen without your lielp. The responsibilities tosupport your kids' activities are enonnous but I am confident that you will take part and be one with us inthis marvelous endeavor.
