Hi Andrea,

Thank you for your interest in judging for the Roche Colorado Regional
Science Fair on Thursday March 1st, 2007, at the Glenn Miller Ballroom
at CU.  The schedule can be found at the bottom of this letter.  Lunch
will be provided for all judges.  We anticipate roughly 50 senior
division projects and 100 junior division projects in the fields of
Animal Sciences (AS), Behavioral & Social Science (BSS), Chemistry (CH),
Earth Sciences (ES), Energy & Transportation (ET), Engineering (EN),
Environmental Sciences (EV), Mathematics & Computer Sciences (MCS),
Medicine & Health (MH), Microbiology (MB), Physics & Astronomy (PA),
Plant Science (PS).

We need roughly 6-8 judges per category per division, and if interested,
you may judge both the senior and junior divisions if you have the time.
The results from this competition determine who represents the Boulder
Valley area in the State Science Fair, and the Intel International
Science and Engineering Fair.   Graduate students are welcome to judge.
We have developed a web site to register as a judge at:
http://content.bvsd.org/scienceFair/JudgeReg.aspx

We will celebrate the accomplishments of our students at an awards
ceremony on Saturday, March 3rd at the Fiske Planetarium, from 9am to
Noon.  We are hoping to get some of the judges to present awards this
year.  There is a place on the registration form to indicate if you are
interested in presented awards.

We appreciate your support in participating and recruiting judges.
Thank for your time and efforts to support high quality science and
mathematics.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email:

Thank you,
