We are in need of some parent volunteers to assist with our STEM program. We need one or two parents to work with the K and 1 teachers in the class gardens. We also need one or two parents to work with Ms. Hammer on collecting, organizing and distributing STEM materials for our projects. You can contact Ms. Hammer to volunteer or if you have any questions at Tracy_M_Hammer@dekalbschoolsga.org
