Recycling
As an extension of our Recycling club, we have initiated a schoolwide STEAM project to help our community and environment. We started with our STEAM Leadership Team and brainstormed ideas before launching a fundraiser to purchase recycling cans to place around our campus.
Projects
It is important to us to allow students of all intellectual abilities to engage with their peers in STEAM projects.
