SYNERGIZE

*Thank You to Melani for coordinating the registration for the STEM conference-I think everyone had a great two days! Such an exciting topic!
*Thank you to all of our Discovery Lab teachers/instructors for their energy (pun intended), excitement and hard work getting ready for our kick off unit. Our students are so very lucky-I can't wait to see and hear about all of their wonderful discoveries! And a Big Hooray for Stephanie for working with all of the schools and all of the instructors to prepare for Monday!
*Good Luck to Lisa D, Becky and Terri D as they put on the final touches for their Strategic Planning days!
