The FCS Atoms Update
April 28-May 3
The FCS Atoms Update!
This was a great weekend kicking it off Friday with a visit to the Zmax raceway to explore STEM careers, then 2 teams competing in Google Gravity Games, and another team competing in Raleigh at the state Science Olympiad competition! Our students represented us well across the state through learning and growing in a wide variety of experiences.
On May 9th, we will have student-led conferences from 3:00-5: 00 pm. Then our new scholars will be meeting from 6-8pm.
Summer is coming up, be on the lookout in each of our S'mores for summer activities that are offered right here in McDowell and in surrounding areas. Check out these opportunities:
Robo-tech Camp: https://docs.google.com/a/mcdowell.k12.nc.us/forms/d/1Qoc-CYA0QAu7RteF3DA_aeQmv4YbcPzYvkFIF1IJy5k/edit?usp=drive_web
Summer 4-H Discovery Camp: https://mcdowell.ces.ncsu.edu/2019/04/2019-mcdowell-county-4-h-summer-discovery/
There is a lot of excitement about our new project, in which students have their choice of project! That is right, during our Passion Projects students will choose what it is that interests them and create their own project out of it! https://sites.google.com/view/fcspassionprojects/home
I have been so impressed with the passions and ideas that many of our students have already shared with me!
Thanks!
