The BYU Mathematics Education Association is hosting our annual "Discover STEM" event for 6th-8th grade students on Saturday March 9, 2024, 9:00-12:00 at the BYU Wilkinson Center. The Discover STEM Event is free and is an excellent opportunity for your students (and you!) to see real-world applications of mathematics, statistics, science, engineering, computers, technology, and other STEM fields. Your students will learn and have a lot of fun as they experience the interactive and interesting activities provided by members of various STEM-related clubs at BYU!
We ask you to please share this information with your students and their parents so they can be aware of this event. You are welcome to attend with your class if you'd like, but this isn't necessarily a field trip. All 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students may attend with their parents, and we are hoping you can help spread the word by announcing this to your class and including it in emails you send to your students' parents.
Students should pre-register (for free) for the event by February 6th, and they will receive a free t-shirt for doing so. T-shirts will be limited to the first 500 students who pre-register. Here is the link to give the students and their parents for pre-registering.

MNMS Teachers Recieve Grants
Melanie Wirfs' classroom will be buzzing with literary excitement thanks to her $185.70 grant for classroom novels. These carefully chosen books will provide immersive reading experiences, fostering deep connections with characters and narratives while strengthening students' reading fluency and comprehension.
Doug Lai, the librarian, received a generous $1,000 grant to expand their collection of Spanish books. This will open doors to diverse cultures and perspectives for students, enriching their understanding of the world and promoting language learning with engaging stories.
