The annual SC MESAS “E Contest” for 4th-6th Grade is designed for students to have fun and learn something by competing in the contest. Each student who participates will be recognized and each school that participates will have at least one winner. Winners will be announced in the SCJAS and SCAS newsletters and the SCAS Bulletin.
We encourage students to use reference resources of all types, including the internet. We advise against parents' assistance in finding the answers. This is a competitive contest meant to exercise the students' new skills of learning and exploring through research.
The deadline for entry is Wednesday, March 1, 2017; please deliver your entry to Mr. Durden during the week of February 20th-24th so he has time to organize and send all student entries at once. After that date, please make arrangements to deliver or mail the contest entry with your family.
