Dear STEM Families,

We’re excited to share an important update about one of our biggest events of the year!

After thoughtful planning, we have combined A Night to Ignite with our STEM Student Showcase, which will take place on Thursday, April 23 from 5:00–8:00 p.m.

This special evening will highlight the incredible work of our K–8 students, along with presentations and projects from our middle and high school programs, including FIRST Robotics, TSA, and Speech & Debate. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience firsthand the creativity, innovation, and problem-based learning that define STEM School Highlands Ranch.

Because this event is now open to all families and staff, we’re excited to welcome our entire community to attend and engage with student learning.

In addition to student showcases, the evening will also include:
• An online silent auction supporting STEM programs
• Opportunities to learn more about STEM’s Master Plan and future growth from school leadership
• Time to connect as a community and celebrate our students

This event marks the beginning of what we hope will grow into a signature STEM tradition—bringing together students, families, and our broader community to celebrate learning and innovation.

If you have already purchased a ticket to the original event, you may request a refund or choose to leave your purchase as a donation to STEM’s Accelerator Fund. Please reach out to Amy Cardinal at amy.cardinal@stemk12.org or Allie Everson at allie.everson@stemk12.org for assistance.

We are so grateful for your continued support and partnership and hope you’ll join us for this exciting evening.

With appreciation,

Matt Cartier
