STEAM Night - Thursday, October 25 - 6:00 - 7:30pm
Students will lead their parents/guardians to classrooms around the school (open house style) to engage in math games, engineering activities, coding, science concepts, estimation jars, and more! There will also be Art, Spanish, Music, and Phy Ed activities to experience as well! New this year - Engineering Challenge. Each student will be provided with a common object and have an opportunity to create something, anything, from this object at HOME. Creations will be displayed at school on STEAM Night.
Walk-a-Thon
Our Walk-a-thon fundraising goal was more than met! Our students raised $42,378! I will sleep on the roof and teachers will sleep in the building on Thursday, October 25th. That is also the same evening as our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) Night. The event goes from 6:00 - 7:30 pm, and then after, families can head outside to hear a story from the rooftop.
