NC Virtual Science Research Workshops!
Hello Rising Third through Sixth Grade Families!
My name is Martina Banas, and I am a rising junior at Ardrey Kell High School and the online program at the NC School of Science and Mathematics. I have been pursuing research for many years now and previously served as the president of the NC Student Academy of Science.
I am excited to announce that the NC Virtual Science Research Workshops will be taking place once again this year. After overwhelming interest last year, we have decided to continue the program this summer and we hope to reach even more students this year. Rising third through sixth grade students will have the opportunity to learn how to conduct scientific research and write a research paper. Our goal is to increase student interest and participation in research, and our program will prepare students to successfully compete in the NC Science and Engineering Fair, as well as the NC Student Academy of Science Research Competition.
Students will be introduced to skills; such as how to research, how to conduct an experiment or study, how to analyze data, and how to effectively present; that will be necessary for competing in research competitions and will also be very useful and applicable in other areas of their lives.
The workshops we are offering will be held through Zoom on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays beginning June 21 and going through July 2. For each of the workshops, we will offer a morning session (10-11AM) and an afternoon session (2-3PM). Additionally, students who have prior experience with science fairs or attended our workshops in the past will have the option to attend more advanced workshops. Our program is completely free for all students, and students may attend as many workshops as they would like. We ask that you please register using our google form athttps://forms.gle/2AHnJM41XoqwsVhC8. If you would like more information, please visit our website athttps://ncscienceresearchw.wixsite.com/website. If you have any additional questions, you can contact us atncscienceresearchworkshops@gmail.com.
We hope to see your child in our workshops and that your family stays safe and healthy!
Thank you!

Our Community Needs Your Help!
We continue to have many Ballantyne families who are struggling and need food assistance – including CMS staff members who work in our Ballantyne-area schools. The families in need are identified by the school counselors in the 9 CMS schools that are a part of the Ardrey Kell feeder pattern (Ardrey Kell High School, Rea Farms K-8 Steam Academy, Community House and JM Robinson Middle Schools, Ballantyne, Elon Park, Endhaven, Hawk Ridge, and Polo Ridge Elementary Schools).
How Can You Help?

You can always make a donation via Paypal (bfhelpingbf@gmail.com), Venmo(bfhelpingbf) or write a check to Ballantyne Families Helping Neighbors (email heathermcafee@mac.com for mailing address) for a future campaign.
