Our older students (5th and 6th graders) enjoyed sharing their knowledge of robotics with their first-grade peers. They guided them step by step in building a functioning robot. While teaching the younger students important STEM skills, the older students are developing leadership capabilities. First graders practiced collaborating within a group and developed more independent problem-solving skills. Who knew learning could be so much fun!

Out of an abundance of caution, and considering the trauma the last spring storms had on our kids and community, we are bringing everyone in the FEMA building until the thunderstorm passes.
