STEM & MEDIA Updates
January Updates in the Media Center
Dear Southwest,
Welcome to the STEM and Media Newsletter. We will be sending updates once a month to staff and parents. These updates are meant to share fun things we do in class or in our clubs, Robotics Club and Battle of the Books! We want to share technology updates, and even apps for YOU to use in class with students or at home with your kids.
