Students will present their project in a 15 minute time window.
Parents will meet students where they check in with the hall monitor
If you came by car, we ask that after your child is finished being judged, we ask if you could please leave campus and head to the awards at Central HS Arena or in town until your awards. This will help with making sure we have enough parking for later participants.
Students that have come on a bus, please meet your teacher in your designated area on the first floor
Note that no food will be purchased at the ACE building. If you come on a bus, you must make arrangements to bring food or go get food.
AWARDS
Awards will be at a separate location this year. The Forsyth Central High School Arena will be open at 10:00 AM for people to enter. There will be concessions sold over there by the Forsyth Central High School Cheerleaders.
All categories will end at different times.
Post on the GASTC Website Update page will be the approximate times your category's awards will be announced.
We ask that all students sit on the gym floor, and parents can sit in the stands.
After your awards have been announced, you are free to leave.
Thank you all for being a part of such a wonderful event for all of our students across the state of Georgia. All of us at GASTC wish each and every participant good luck this weekend.
Thank you,
Tom Lamb
Director GASTC
