What a send-off! 📚

Wow! Ms. Ferry’s class in the BRIDGE program helped pack 62 lunches for high school students. The program feeds over 500 kids per week. Proud to have these helpers in our classroom!

We're sensing a food theme in our BRIDGE classrooms! This week the BRIDGE program added bread to their soup-making skills. BRIDGE Apt 83.5 and Bloomfield Apt students made bread in a bag, along with butter in a jar. 🍞🍯 The students were so excited and engaged in the activity. We shared big loaf that we sliced into and slathered with the home made butter, and each student took home a mini-loaf. Soup, bread, any predictions on what's cookin' up next? 🍽

Congratulations, inventors! Keep thinking and see you in June at the Henry Ford Museum And Greenfield Village!

The IU 8 STEM Lending Center items are often seen in our K-12 school buildings, but we recently had a delightful opportunity to share with pre-service teachers at University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown! Can't wait to see these young educators make their way into our districts!

It may look like one big party, but this crew was here to learn about Science standards - STEELS (Science, Technology & Engineering, Environmental Literacy and Sustainability (STEELS) Standards). A little bit of steel might have helped those towers that look a bit rickety! Many thanks to Pennsylvania Department of Education for supporting our districts.

The Littlest Lego'ers in our area took over the Science Center at Saint Francis University!
