STEM/STEAM FIELD TRIP: We have the opportunity to participate in a variety of design thinking challenges led by Templeton Secondary student mentors. This will be a great learning experience for our grade 7 students to practice their problem-solving skills, see STEM/STEAM in action at the high school level and develop new ideas for their own future challenges.

A letter was emailed home today about this field trip. We are looking for parent assistance to help with driving and some supervision. Please let us know if you can help with driving and supervising or just driving.
