A Message From The Board

We hope everyone had a wonderful Mid-Winter break. We are heading into the final stretch of the school year and trust me, it will FLY by! So don't miss out on all of the fun we still have in store for the entire STEM Lab community. As we step into March, we not only embrace the blooming of spring but also celebrate the incredible strength, resilience, and achievements of women everywhere. Happy National Women's Month.

Ramadan Mubarak

From February 28th to March 29th, members of our STEM Lab community will be observing Ramadan. Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is a sacred time when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, focusing on self-discipline and community engagement. A special thank you to Mrs. Bethany for opening the library to these students during their lunch break this month!
