Announcements from the PTA
STEAM Day Volunteers Needed
We will be hosting our PTA sponsored event, STEAM Day, on Friday, March 6th. This unique day gives our students opportunity to explore the areas of STEAM- Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math with hands on activities, career exploration and outside vendor presentations. Our students will be thinkers, risk takers and open-minded as they solve engineering design challenges, code drones to fly, and take a trip to the stars with our pop up planetarium, BUT we need your help to make this day a success!!
If you work or have experience in any of those fields - please sign up to share some of your expertise with our students! https://forms.gle/PUKLhcnV6XhfBVst7
We thank you in advance for your time and support for this great program.
