The Coalition of Educators for Native American Children (CENAC) is made up of 12 BIA-funded schools serving Pueblo children from the northern and southern pueblos (Taos Pueblo to Acoma Pueblo). CENAC is recruiting Judges for our 5 th Annual CENAC Science Fair. If you have participated in past fairs, your time and commitment are greatly appreciated.

The CENAC Science Fair consists of two parts: K-4 and Grades 5-8. K-4 will be held in April, 2009 and 5 th–8 th grades will be held on November 20, 2008 both fairs will be hosted by one of the 12 CENAC Schools.

In addition to using the western science approach to judging projects, CENAC will also include a cultural component, which will be evaluated by Pueblo community members. CENAC will continue to incorporate and support the Native Science aspect. This is a wonderful opportunity to provide some outreach and mentoring for our students.  Thank you in advance for your continued support of our Native youth.
