STEAM+ Spotlight
Each month for the remainder of the school year, the STEAM+ program will highlight a Competency from our newly adopted Portrait of a Learner. The Competencies developed by our community represent the skills and mindsets all students need for success in this rapidly changing world. Over this past month, students practiced the Competency of Adaptability by demonstrating flexible thinking and agile action, responding productively to feedback, and negotiating diverse viewpoints to reach workable solutions.
Please see HERE for our STEAM+ Spotlight in PE with Coach Brand.
The goal of PE at Pac Sky is to provide every child with a positive PE experience, build their confidence, and provide many opportunities for them to work in pairs, teams and individually on physical and social emotional skills (that are connected with sports, games & activities). I strive to help students find their JOYful movement, so they can be physically active for life.
Do you own a local business, or know of a local business who might be interested in supporting the complete education of our children? This March, the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF) will host our annual Jogathon where we raise funds to pay for credentialed specialists in STEAM+ subjects throughout the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD). We are currently looking for local businesses who would like to sponsor our Jogathon this year. With your sponsorship, your business can be honored and recognized at all 9 elementary schools in the District, and you would be supporting the complete education of our children. By underwriting, sponsoring and/or donating a raffle item to the Jogathon, you will be helping children right here in our community. Your involvement will make a life changing difference.
