INVENTION CONVENTION JUDGING OPPORTUNITY
We are in need of volunteer judges at Meadows' Invention Convention on Monday, Feb 24 from 2:30 - 5:30 PM. As long as your child is not participating in the competition, we welcome your participation. Want to know more? Check out this brief overview video: Judging at Invention Convention video
Judges will be working in groups of 3 to circulate among a designated number of projects. Judges will receive scoring material ahead of time and a short training before the judging begins. The judging orientation begins at 2:30 and judging lasts from 3:00pm to approximately 5:30pm.
A percentage of the winning projects from NM will be sent to the regional Invention Convention, and winners from that event will advance to the National Invention Convention at the Henry Ford later this spring.
Interested judges should sign up here to indicate their interest in helping judge: Interested judges sign up here or click on the Invention Convention judge signup button below. A confirmation email will be sent to all judges to confirm additional details.

NEF IMPACT TEAM
Are you looking for ways where your valuable time can make a HUGE impact? The Novi Educational Foundation (NEF) impacts EVERY student in the Novi Community School District and NEEDS the teamwork of volunteers to cover all the bases. We are looking to fill the roster for our IMPACT TEAM, which consists of participating on one of our seven committees, joining our Board of Trustees or simply adding your name to our Volunteer List to act as a pinch hitter when needed. Talents in finance, legal, marketing, fundraising and/or event-planning are never benched. Our impact is only as large as our roster. We’ll have an IMPACT TEAM informational breakfast on February 28th at 7:30am to discuss our mission, committees and ways to help.
