The school administration has officially reversed the decision and decided to keep Science Camp for our fifth graders. Your collective commitment ensured that the value of this program was recognized by those in charge. I hope we continue to keep a watchful eye on school policies to ensure these opportunities …

It's great opportunity for kids. I always amazed that school have manage this as tradition. Not an easy job. Please keep it. If need help, we would love to.
Science camp is an excellent source of educational experience for students in 5th grade. The science camp not only provides students science related knowledge, but it also provides long lasting life skill. Our older son still cherishes those moments. We would like to request to re-instate the science camp
It's a tradition that sets a new bar for independence and is like a passage to middle school. It's an experience that cannot be compared with knowledge based science field trip. They are two different things altogether.
I had volunteered for my elder daughter's science camp and cannot tell u how much these new fifth grade kids are going to miss, in the respect of fun and learning. This is a big loss for our children. They shouldn't be the set of children that this unfair experience is being tested on.
5th grade Science camp is practically a historical tradition -- a prolonged period of independence for kids, on the cusp of middle school, which facilitates tremendous confidence and strength of character and community. It's shocking that our school took this decision unilaterally to discontinue it.
We want the science camp back ASAP !!
My son went to science camp last year and I totally agree that it's a very educational, fun and engaging program for kids. With no parents around the sense of responsibility kicks in. In the process they also understand themselves better and can appreciate even small things more than ever. I totally recommend this program for kids. I hope Faria continues this tradition.

It was a tradition in Faria that the kids remembered most fondly as a coming- of- age rite of passage and hence I am signing this petition despite having no more kids in Faria for the coming academic year .
