US NAVY STEM OUTREACH
Second-grade STEM students had fun deepening their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics skills by engaging with Ozobot mini robots, snap electrical circuits, and creating their own binary code bracelets.
We are grateful to second-grade parent Jerry Pham (Ryan) who works with NIWC and brought this opportunity to Gage!
SPRING FIESTA 2023
FIESTA DONATIONS STILL NEEDED - Last Call!
It's almost Fiesta time! Do you have an item or experience to donate? Each donated item is another fun auction opportunity. The more auction items, the more money we can raise!
We need the community's help in procuring additional donations to auction at the event. Items that have typically done well at previous auctions:
- Wine Tasting Experiences Vacation Rentals
- Legal/Wealth Management Services Academic / Tutoring Sessions
- Sporting Event Gift Cards of Any Denomination

SAGE Garden
You are invited to volunteer as part of our edible garden project made possible by the Sage Garden Project Award & the PTA that brings gardening, cooking classes, and nutritional science to our students. Join us in supporting our students with a general garden education and in planting and nurturing fruit and vegetables bringing to fruition more students being likely to try – and actually enjoy – eating these healthy foods they might otherwise dismiss. Lend a hand in culinary class capitalizing on this fun with hands-on activities supporting education in nutritional science and cooking skills.
