A huge thank you to the Dean J. King Family Foundation for its generous support of our welding and fabrication program!

Through this contribution, we were able to purchase new equipment to enhance hands-on learning opportunities for students, including an ironworker, a metal-cutting chop saw, and welding stand tables.

These upgrades will help students continue developing valuable technical skills while preparing for future careers in welding, fabrication, and the skilled trades. 👏🏻

Mrs. Thayer’s 5th grade students recently put their engineering skills to the test with a STEM Egg Drop Challenge! 🥚

After reading “The Science of Breakable Things,” students used the engineering design process to plan, build, test, and improve devices designed to protect their eggs during drop day.

Creativity, teamwork, and problem solving were on full display as students learned from both their successes and challenges. Check out our future engineers in action! ⚙️
