Dear STrEaM Families,

We’ve reached the LAST week of the 2nd quarter! It has been a great first semester at STrEaM, filled with project-based learning, STEM activities, and outdoor experiences. Instead of just the traditional finals, this week our students were finishing towers, trebuchets, roller coasters, cardboard boats and other projects, working in teams and employing engineering, innovation, creativity, problem-solving, and ingenuity. Throughout the week they took breaks from their hard work to go outside sledding, climbing snow mountain, and playing in the park. Education CAN be engaging, hands-on and fun.

This week is Holiday Spirit Week! See the daily spirit themes below. Please remind students to dress warm and be prepared!

Book Swap

The Student Leadership Book Swap & Bake Sale was a HUGE success! We raised over $200 and collected about 100 books for the school library. Many students participated and took home new books to read and/or delicious baked goods. Thank you families for sending in your books and supporting the bakers.
