Springmill STEM Elementary
Dear Springmill STEM Parents and Families,
We have had two great weeks at STEM. Our Literacy Night was FANTASTIC thanks to the hard work of Mrs. Vogt and Ms. Berg. Feedback from parents & students was all positive! The book fair went very well, also, earning the school almost $1500 in "Scholastic Bucks" that we can use to buy books and supplies for our classrooms.
Your students may have talked about some visitors in the classrooms last week. The Ohio STEM Learning Network has a program to help schools become STEM schools. They send people from these schools to other model STEM schools so they can see how to do it and ask questions. This year, we were asked to allow visitors into our school. This is a great honor from the organization that runs the state STEM program! They came and watched our teachers and our students throughout the day. They had great things to say - including how well mannered and friendly the students were. You have great kids!
On final note, as the weather has turned colder, we have started enforcing cold weather clothing requirements for students. We take students outside as long as it is not raining (some snow is ok) and the "feels like" temperature is above 15 - 20 degrees. Because we go out even when it's cold, students must have a heavy winter coat to go outside in this weather. We will not let kids in hoodies and sweatshirts to go out when it is this cold, no matter how much they argue. If they do not have a coat, they will stay inside. *If your child has outgrown their coat and you are unable to get one for this winter, we do have coats for students to borrow for recess.
Yours,
Principal Cara Will
Families worked together to solve challenges.
After solving all of the challenges, they had the code to unlock their ticket!
Families shared a great dinner of walking tacos.
Students learned to dance (and burned off some energy)
Made lifelong friendships
And got to take home some amazing new books!
