How can we keep the deadlines for the PTA Reflections Contest, Invention Convention and Science Fair from competing against each other?
PTA Reflections and Invention Convention are both quality traditional fall programs in RISD. The Invention Convention was held in the spring one year. However, David Dodd, coordinator, experienced more problems/schedule conflicts than occurred in the fall. For example, Destination Imagination, Science Fair, TAKS testing, etc. occur during second semester and are time-intensive for administrative staff, teachers, and students. The District prefers to keep Invention Convention as it has been for the past 18 out of 19 years, which is the second Saturday in November. This allows planning every year for this highly popular event to be held at Berkner and consistency for the judges who volunteer their time – they traditionally set aside this weekend for Invention Convention. Locations and judging attainment are major factors in having a successful event. Many of the judges have judged all nineteen years. Elementary campuses vary regarding their guidelines for participation in the Reflections
