We live in an age where continually growing, developing and learning is critical to success. I struggle to think of any fields where things are not changing due to technology. Where professional development and growth is not part of job description. Students must come out of the school system and into the world with a love of learning. If they do not have a drive and passion to learn, then they will struggle in the real world. In first grade we are laying the foundation for that love of learning. That is why STEM in elementary is so important. The greatest gift we can give students during the elementary years is a driving curiosity, a belief in their abilities, a thirst for knowledge, and a passion to grow. With these skills in their toolbox, they will be equipped to tackle the challenges of higher education and the real world. The STEM materials that will be brought through Donors choose will help our students to develop these important skills. No matter where their life journey takes them.
