Spalding STEM Academy

🦅📚 Spalding celebrated the top readers from the Read Week reading competition by having the first ever school parade! It was so fun to cheer on our friends who read the most minutes from each grade level. The top reader in the school is Evelyn from Mrs. Rosen's 4th grade class. She had the honor to carry the torch leading the procession. Way to go, Eagles!

🦅🌱Last week, the Spalding Garden welcomed three 2nd grade classes for our first Winter Sowing Lesson!  We discussed how seeds are sleepy in winter, we moved our bodies with plant yoga, explained how a greenhouse works, and even talked about how Earth's atmosphere serves as a greenhouse for all life on our planet!  We now have 50 "upcycled" containers lined up along the garden fence that will hopefully "wake up" our sleepy seeds and grow flowers for our future pollinator bed!

🦅Thank you for joining us for a night of STEM! We had such a great turnout of students, families, and previous Spalding students. Thank you to teachers and community members for making it a memorable experience!

🦅🌱The Spalding Winter Sowing Lesson is next week on February 17th after school. We invite all adults and students to come learn how empty milk containers become mini greenhouses that will grow seedlings for our garden. Thank you to those that have already donated empty milk containers by the front office.  You still have time to bring more this week to help make our lesson a success!  More containers = more plants!  Hope to see you there!

🦅🏀Hoops for Hunger is starting next week! Let's do this again.

Use the QR code on the attached flyer, or send money with students to drop off in the jar near the front office. Our community rocked the first ever Hoops 4 Hunger last year and shocked everyone. Let's do it again.

MAKE SURE TO DRAG DOWN TO OUR SCHOOL if you donate. Thank you!
