The public is welcome during the 2nd round of judging but must not interfere with judging that may take place from 1:00 - 3:00 pm.
Parents
- Students will be required to supply their own lunches each day they are on site. Vending machines are also available within the building for snacks.
Students
- During the judging and at times during public viewing there may be periods when you will be waiting. It is a good idea to bring a book to read or something to work on during this time.
