Soaring Moment of the Week: Serrano STEM Challenge Friday
We hope that you students went home and talked all about this event.
Check out the video below to see how impactful this activity was.
STEM SUPPORT NEEDED!
To make this STEM Friday actually happen, we need some help in the form of supplies. For schoolwide challenges, we build 160 teams and thus need 160 sets of supplies to include everyone. Below is a list of common supplies for a variety of challenges. If you have any of these supplies hanging out unused at home or would like to pick some up to donate, or would like to donate money to help purchase supplies, we would be so appreciative!
The following supplies are needed and used in a variety of challenges and will be used in the ones we have planned for the next couple of weeks. We need very large quantities of all items so whatever you can donate will be so helpful.
- Blue Painters Tape
- Plastic Spoons
- Popsicle Sticks
- Tongue Depressors
- Rubber Bands
- Masking Tape
- Red Solo Cups
- Paper Dixie Cups
- Pumpkin Candy Corn (this if for next week)
- Pennies
- Aluminum Foil
- Straws
- Corks
- Toothpicks
- Index Cards
- Post-Its
- Disposable Aluminum Deep Pans - like the ones you can fit a turkey in and get from the grocery store
* Donations can be dropped off in the office.
Thank you for your generosity and support!

PFO has purchased cases for these iPads and we will need some support to put the cases on all 120 iPads if anyone is interested in helping.
