Adjudicators needed for NRP Heritage Fair – Wednesday May 09

The Grade 4 and 5 students have been working hard on their individual projects for the NRP Heritage Fair, which will take place Wednesday, May 9, from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM.  The program relies on volunteer adjudicators (judges) to evaluate the student projects.
