STEAM Fundraiser, September 21-October 2
Check out the awesome prize levels!
Due to the uniqueness of STEAM, we do not have as many sources for funds as traditional schools (such as athletics and booster clubs). We rely heavily on fundraisers like this to help pay for student activities and other fun things at STEAM! Thanks for your support! #steamlearns
