Dear Parents, Guardians, and students
We are announcing the closure of this 5 STAAR Innovation page. The Ft. Bliss 5 STAAR has merged with another organization from Dallas, and they will be taking over the fair and all future communications.
As this is a privately owned page, we will no longer be the official page for the El Paso STEM Foundation and AFCEA Annual 5 STAAR Innovation Cup Competition, we will no longer be fielding questions for any future fairs.
Unfortunately we do not have a current contact to direct you to at this time. We advise that you keep an eye on the new official website https://www.fivestarinnovation.net/ for future communications.
Thank you for your understanding.
