Principal's Message
STEM Family,
Good evening STEM families! As a reminder there is NO 2 hour delay for STEM this month, so school does start at 9am on the 5th, 12th and 19th (no school on the 26th for Memorial Day).
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! We are lucky to have several great gifts being donated to our staff this week from local businesses and our own families. Thank you to everyone who is participating in making the teachers week special!
Last reminder! All LIBRARY books for the Richland Mansfield Public Library are due Wednesday May 7th! Please be sure to send any books your kids have brought home back to school on Wednesday, otherwise it will be up to you to return them to the library.
3 more Mondays to go!
Sincerely,
Cara Will, principal

What's Happening at STEM?
K-2nd Grade PJ Party Concert
Kindergarten Visits Gorman Nature Center
1st Grade at Kingwood Center
First graders had a blast building essential needs for nature to survive using legos to create food, shelter and fresh water!
5th Grade Visits Wetlands
At OSU Mansfield Wetlands, 5th grade got to dive deeper into understanding wetlands, got to go explore a vernal pool wetland and got to see the different soil composition, along with some salamanders that call it home! Students then got to figure out what wetland organism they had in a test tube by process of elimination through a food web!
