It is important to note that we continue to strive to narrow the appropriate grade level bands for presentations. Therefore, please indicate in your proposal the targeted audience and most appropriate grade level band (e.g. Preschool/K, Lower Elementary Grades, Middle School, High School). We understand that a number of the above mentioned topics overlap in other areas and also overlap grade level bands. Please know that these are just suggestions for your proposal.
