East Side STEAM- Coming September
23rd!!
Dear Parents,
The East Side PTA is
excited to announce that it is sponsoring five school-wide STEAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) days!
The PTA will also be providing resources and supplies to each grade
level to explore integrated lessons throughout the school year.
Our first East Side STEAM
Day will be held on September 23rd.
The inspiration for this day is came from a little boy named Caine. Visit this website, http://cainesarcade.com/, to learn more and watch his inspirational
video. On this day all students will be
creating and playing arcade games made out of cardboard boxes just like Caine
did. Throughout the year students will
be challenged to collaborate and create as they work on grade level STEAM
activities.
We need your help to make
our first school-wide event a success on September 23rd! First and foremost, we will need boxes!
Our goal is to collect enough boxes so every student will have access
to at least 2-3 boxes for their arcade game.
·
Boxes can be stacked or broken down and
dropped off at East Side beginning Wednesday, September 21st
after school between 2:20-3:00 PM. Boxes
can also be dropped off Thursday, September 22nd before school
between 7:20 AM and 7:50 AM and after school between 2:20 PM and 3:10 PM. Finally, boxes can be dropped off the morning of September 23rd before school. In
order for this activity to be a success, we need your help!
·
We need volunteers! Your child’s teacher will let you know how
you can help in their classroom.
·
We also need help collecting boxes on the
drop off day, distributing boxes the day of September 23rd, and we
will need volunteers at the end of the day to make sure all leftover boxes get
recycled. If you can help please contact
Mollie at dmcush@bellsouth.net
