Upcoming Events

Makerspace Materials Needed

We're always looking to restock our makerspace area. If you have any empty toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls, cereal boxes, egg cartons, bubble wrap, corks, or Legos that need a new home, please send them to the STEM lab. Remember: Reduce, recycle, reuse, and build cool things!

Thank you for your continued support of our STEM program. If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Happy inventing!

Mrs. Julie Stewart

Student Headphones

All students are required to have headphones or corded earbuds. They are needed for ALL classrooms, including STEM/STEAM. Please ensure that your child has this essential piece of equipment to complete work in my class when needed.

Full headphones work best for lower elementary (K-3), as earbuds fall out for them. Upper elementary (4-5) and middle school students may use corded earbuds or full headphones.
