MTES will be participating in our annual STEM Expo!  This is an exciting opportunity for students to stretch an idea for a typical science fair project into a project with a STEM focus.   

THIS EVENT IS BEING PROMOTED AS A GREEN, SUSTAINABLE EVENT.  YOU MUST REGISTER ONLINE!

Awards:

• Orange "Participation" ribbon - Each participant will be awarded an “Orange Participation” ribbon to acknowledge all of their hard work that went into preparing for the Expo. 

• "Green Award" ribbon - If your child’s project has an idea related to sustainability, they will also receive a special "Green Award" ribbon. Since MTES is continuously working hard and taking action to maintain our Sustainable Schools for Jersey Bronze Award, we feel that it is important to recognize projects that support that initiative. 

• "Environmental Innovation Award" - *NEW* If your child creates an invention to solve an environmental issue or problem, they could earn the Environmental Innovation Award. This is a new award category this year, created to reflect the incredible creativity and enthusiasm our MTES Tigers exhibit when it comes to solving environmental problems.

Please don't hesitate to email Diane Barlow (dbarlow@mendhamtwp.org) or Erica Parke (eparke@mendhamtwp.org) with any questions or concerns.

We are looking forward to your amazing projects!

Thanks!
