Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
Inquisitive, tenacious, and wonderstruck are only a few words that describe our students at our elementary academy of Science and Math. Our academy prepares students with the skills necessary to tackle the latest science and math programs on the cutting edge of early education. With an active science lab, innovative math instruction, interactive partnerships with area organizations, and the incorporation of technology, we are growing the future mathematicians and scientists of tomorrow!
“Photography has changed the entire vision of the world, it will go through every activity of humanity - science, medicine, space, all of them - you will not find one without photography.” - Lisette Model
Please help us raise funds for camera and camcorder equipment to help our students, faculty, and involved parents craft new and exciting ways to explore STEM subjects. Our curriculum centers around interactive and engaging learning experiences to better teach and impart knowledge to our young students, whom we call Little Dragons, the mascot of our humble school. For example, we want our students to be able to capture the launch of water-based rockets, so our students can learn the basics of forces and the response of a vehicle to external forces. So lets take our STEM program to new heights that only have ever been previously achieved by our soaring Little Dragon alumni!
