Do you have a mini maker?

One of the most awesome movements in the United States (and really the world) is the Maker Movement. Maker’s come together from across the world to create and share their ideas and creations.
Why is this important to you and your child? Studies have shown that STEM students are able to innovate and think critically. Beyond that, they are able to make connections between school, community, work, and the world. Though we often think this is a movement towards just the sciences, it’s more than that, STEM includes all facets of life. SCIENCE; TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, and MATHS are found in everything, from engine rebuilds to farming to arts to robotics. It is everywhere!

Popsicles and Supplies!

We are closing in on the end of our summer break - can you believe it!? As it nears, we begin to think about all the new and exciting things our children are about to learn and experience. Who are their teachers going to be? What are they going to wear? Is the new principal nice? How many pencils again? Take a big breath! You'll be alright!


This year we have the honor of joining our new principal, Lauren Berg, and the staff for popsicles and classroom lists! It is going to be a great year!

Also, if you have the chance, grab another pack of pencils or some spiral notebooks! An extra backpack would go a long way for someone as well. All of these are handed out during the school year at the discretion of our great staff!

So we hope to see you all there!
