Week Nine (Fall Semester)
October is a busy month and there is a lot to celebrate! From Hispanic Heritage, Indigenous People's Day, LGBT+ History to Dyslexia Awareness and much more. STEM is happy to bring students of all cultures together to help celebrate and understand all our achievements and histories. October is also Bullying Prevention month; we work hard to provide a safe and supportive environment for all young people and will be launching bullying awareness education during ASTEMblies for the next 4 months. As always, I rely on and am grateful for all your support!
Important news, announcements and opportunities are below.
