We've Adopted...

Sea Turtles!

The Green S.T.E.M. Club has adopted two sea turtles through the Sea Turtle Conservancy. These turtles were released from the coast of Florida, and have satellite tracking devices on their shells. We will be able to follow our new friends to see where they travel!

First Meeting

We had a very successful first meeting! We learned the rules of the STEM Club, and got a little dirty today in the flower beds and garden. The front of the school is looking somewhat better now that we have pulled some weeds out of the flower beds, but we are thinking we can pretty it up some more! We are also excited to start composting, as well as continue growing herbs in our garden in the back of the school.

A flyer went home today regarding T-Shirts. We are planning to get some screen printed club T-Shirts, to show off our pride, and get people talking about STEM. The shirts are $8 each. Parents are welcome to purchase shirts for themselves as well. A portion of your purchase will go back to the STEM Club to assist in buying more supplies for upcoming activities/events.

Our next meeting is October 23rd. In honor of fall, we will be doing some exciting science and math activities involving pumpkins!
