πŸŽ¨πŸ”¬ RP Creates - A New STEAM Showcase

πŸ“… Event Date: Wednesday, November 18, 2026

⏰ Time: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM

We are thrilled to launch a brand-new event for our school community this year: RP Creates!

RP Creates is a celebration of student curiosity, innovation, and creativity, bringing together both a Science Fair and an Art Show under one roof. We want to give every student the opportunity to share their passions, experiments, and creative works with our entire school community.

Event Highlights:

  • Science Fair: Students can explore a scientific question, conduct an experiment, build an invention, or present a research display.
  • Art Show: Students can showcase original artwork, including drawings, paintings, mixed media, or 3D creations.

Students are welcome to participate in either or both categories!

What You Can Do Today:

  1. Mark your calendar for November 18 from 6:00–7:30 PM.
  2. Talk with your child about RP Creates and start brainstorming project ideas together!

Stay tuned! We will share detailed guidelines and submission forms in the coming weeks. We can’t wait to see our students' imaginations in action!
