New Hires
We have received a substantial amount of funding for a STEM lab. The planning is still in the works, but as it stands now, our plan is to have the library be on a flex schedule so that Katie can work more closely with you and your students and allow more time for research. This will allow the library to be used as it should be. We will have a STEM lab as part of our related arts rotation where our students will go to the lab once a week. Science will be taught in the classrooms and the lab will be an extension of the classroom where students can work on projects, investigations, and experiments. Kristy Smith will be our STEM lab teacher. We are so excited to bring the lab here and to be able to begin work with Project Lead the Way which focuses on STEM. I will give out more information as we finalize plans.
