STEAM Class is a new related arts class that integrates art, collaborative learning, science, technology, engineering, and math curriculum to bring creative and engaging concepts to life with hands-on experiences.
STEAM education is important for many reasons:
*Helps kids ask questions *Connects the dots *Problem solve
*Think creatively *Be innovative *Work as a team
*Focuses on the process which helps drive innovation
*Teaches the power of observation, of people, and your surroundings
*Helps promote spatial awareness and mathematical concepts like geometry
We are collecting new and gently used items listed below help support hands-on learning in cooperative groups:

Hey parents! Don't forget to request your FREE energy efficiency kit, and help our school win cash rewards.

Remember that our school receives $250 for every 100 signups! (Even if you signed up last year, it will still counts towards our challenge when you sign up again.)
Parents, we need your help. Each week we have dozens of jackets and coats left at lost and found. If they have a name on the inside, we get the coat or jacket back to the right student. However, most of the time the coats and jackets have no name. Please help us by putting your child's name inside his or her coat.
Also, on the last Friday of each month, we will be donating unclaimed lost and found jackets, coats, hats, etc to a local charity.
Thank you for your help.
