STEAM Day...
Message from the STEAM Day committee:
Teachers' planning time is when they drop off the students in the gym for the performance. They have an hour of planning. They will be in their rooms the whole day with the exception of the presentation ( their planning), lunch, and recess. Volunteers are coming from United Methodist church with the hopes of every teacher gaining at least one per class. This is not a guarantee. Teachers have been asked to welcome any parents who would like to come volunteer in their child’s classrooms.
