Those were the wide ranging topics as the student body and faculty of Gate of Heaven School in Dallas combined their efforts to hold the school’s annual Aca- demic Fair. Months of preparation went in- to the fair, as topics were as- k_ signed, numerous projects creat- ed and every classroom miracu- lously transformed into a “mas- terpiece of the imagination.” Even the pre-kindergarten stu- dents participate in the event. This year’s topic at The Gate House Early Childhood Develop- ment Center was dinosaurs and as the 3-4-year-olds created spe- cial crafts to display in their class- rooms, they also learned about the wonders of the prehistoric world. Fifteen years ago, the event be- gan as a science fair for students in grades 4-8. The event was held each year in the school gymnasi- um and was widely attended. As the years passed, the administra- tion and faculty decided to broad- en the possibilities by opening the event to include all grade lev- els, and by changing the format to include more academic sub- jects. And 10 years ago, Gate of Heav- en School's Academic Fair was born. Originally, the event was limit- ed to one evening. But it has evolved into three, which allows parents to visit their children’s imaginatively decorated class rooms, and to witness the stu- dents’ numerous accomplish- ments. This year, family members and friends were treated to a broad range of topics: the Rain Forest, Students in teacher Col- leen Engler’'s eighth grade class at Gate of Heaven School presented a “Chronicles of Narnia” theme for the annual Academic Fair.
