Science Carnival Saturday May 6 from 1-4pm

Please join us for our science carnival! Make rockets, slime, dry ice bubbles and more. Admission is free.

Also, please read this message from Principal Dye. The auction items will be on display at the science carnival:
Only 4 1/2 days until online bidding begins for Buri Buri's 3rd annual Silent Auction.  Have you had a chance to preview the catalog?  There are over 150 awesome prizes including summer camps for kids, getaways for mom & dad, and fun activities for your students with their favorite teachers.  More prizes continue to be added daily.
Register today and, while you're there, visit our Fund-a-need page.  We are aiming to bring Education Outside to Buri Buri next year so that all Bobcats will experience hands-on science classes in our school garden.  A donation of $5, $10, $20 or any other amount will help us reach our goal!

Our exciting PTA Science Carnival is coming up on May 6 from 1-4pm. We are taking over the school campus and turning it into a fun interactive science experience! We will have activities in each building and on the playground. Here are just a few of the fun things we will have: make slime, stomp rockets and drinking straw jets, play with dry ice, learn about optical illusions, compost, bubble magic and more! 

Amazing Alta Loma science students and Buri 5th graders will be sharing these experiments with our kids. We just need a few parents to supervise. Please sign up here if you can help out: Science Carnival Volunteer Sign-up
