The STEM Weekly Stream
STEM Academy Family Newsletter
Week of November 21
Welcome to this week's edition of the STEM Weekly Stream. We are wishing all members of the STEM Community a Happy Thanksgiving! I am truly very appreciative of the opportunity to be among the great students and staff at STEM Academy and here in Chester. Included in this edition is a recap of the College Excursion, as well as a look ahead toward upcoming events.

Each school was unique and offered students an array of academic and social opportunities. We have already begun receiving numerous acceptances, and expect many more to come.
Smithsonian Museum Visits
Students were also treated to an exclusive tour of the Library of Congress after it was closed to the public.
Thank You!
We know that we would not have been able to have this experience without the hard work and commitment of many different people. We are extremely grateful to everyone who supported this trip for us.
On behalf of STEM Academy, we would like to thank Chester Upland School District for helping make this trip a reality. In particular thank you to Receiver Nichols, Dr. Parkinson, Dr. Sutton, Ms. Mosley, and Ms. Hales for everything they did to ensure we were able to have this experience.
Additionally, the College Excursion would not have been possible without the many Alumni and Community Members who generously donated to sponsor students, including Ms. Quail and Ms. Neal of the School Board. Finally, we also greatly appreciate Coach Karen Miah who worked tirelessly to organize and collect donations for the Tour. Thank you for your support!
