Parent Information Meeting
Wednesday, January 25, from 6 – 7:30 in the Cafeteria

The last Wednesday of each month, STEM will host a Parent Information Meeting. During the open enrollment period, these meetings provided general information about our school to focus on new and prospective parents. Now that the open enrollment period has ended, these meetings will provide more detailed information on STEM’s progress in our development for next year and beyond. These meetings will be open to all parents, even those that don’t have students here, and will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. in the STEM cafeteria. Most of our classes are full for the 2012/13 academic year but we are still accepting applications for our wait list. (See the enrollment tab) Call the front office at 303-683-7836 and talk to Kathy Reid for more information.

STEM Community Service

The STEM Technical Student Association (TSA) donated a bicycle rack to the student mentoring organization North Littleton Promise. It took the STEM TSA students several weeks to construct the rack which was built from donated wood from Home Depot and scrap iron rod. Now the children at North Littleton Promise will have a bike rack to secure their bikes while they are mentored by community volunteers. Great job STEM TSA students! It is the goal of STEM to reach out to our surrounding community and share what they have learned and inspire others to pursue STEM education. Pictured are TSA members Philip Miceli and Cole Simpson. Not pictured are parent Steve Simpson and the STEM Engineering Teacher Mike Shallenberger.

STEM Basketball
