 * Period 1: 7:45 - 9:35

 * Schedule and rotations are being set up by Gerry Eisner
 * Students in last groups of tour need to take backpacks, etc
 * Instructional time will be about 50 minutes. However, it won't necessarily be a "block" of 50 minutes. It will depend on when you are scheduled to tour the academies.

 * After tour, students will complete the [|Academy Fair Reflection.docx] about their tour of the academies. **Please collect the reflection and give to Lisa Turner**

**Thoughts and Suggestions for next year's Academy Fair:**
 * Academy Fair feedback for Gerry Eisner
 * Positives
 * Schedule allotted an appropriate amount of time
 * Tour guides for Arts & Humanities was a great idea and appeared to work well. Can this be done in any other academy, too?
 * Negatives
 * Some students selected to "host" for an academy or strand, didn't seem to have much knowledge to share with students
 * Need to have more of the "hosting" students interact with the student visitors (more adults from the academy to help with this?)
 * Need to draw more attention to the careers that didn't have demonstrations
