Welcome to this week's edition of the STEM Weekly Stream. This week is Spirit Week and Homecoming. Make sure to read below for important information about Friday's Pep Rally Schedule.
SPIRIT WEEK & HOMECOMING
Pep Rally: Friday at CHS
We are excited that this year’s Homecoming & Fall Sports Pep Rally will be held this Friday, October 21, at 1:00 at Chester High School. All students will be transported from STEM Academy to CHS on Friday to attend the Pep Rally. STEM buses will make their 2:30 pickups from CHS, and parent pickups will be made from there as well.
Friday will be an Activities Day, and students will not be given academic work in their morning classes at STEM. Therefore, students should not bring their Chromebooks that day.
