The Education Fair brought together grade 5-8 students on January 26-27, 2024, at Bass Memorial Academy. The event focused on academic, physical, and spiritual development. It gathered principals, teachers, and students from across the Gulf States Conference for an immersive and dynamic experience that combined academic challenges, physical activities, and spiritual growth.
Students participated in a variety of group and individual challenges designed to encourage teamwork, critical thinking, and creativity. Activities included gymnastics, recreational games, art projects, spelling competitions, and interactive Q&A sessions where teams answered thought-provoking questions. These activities created a fun and stimulating environment, helping students develop both intellectual and social skills.
The event was organized by Scott Bowes, Conference vice president for education and superintendent, and Kelsey Abbott, education assistant, working tirelessly to ensure every student had an unforgettable and enriching experience. “Education is about more than just academics,” said Bowes. “It’s about shaping young minds, building character, and fostering a love for learning. Seeing these students grow, challenge themselves, and have fun in the process has been truly inspiring.”
With a balance of learning and fun, the Education Fair has become an essential opportunity to expand knowledge, develop new skills, and strengthen connections between students and educators. The event’s success highlights the Education Department’s commitment to providing meaningful experiences that support the holistic growth of students.
