Science After School
Fall Investigations Were Incredible
Fall programs of
Science After School at Hemingway STEAM School and Bellevue Elementary School are complete. Twenty-five students enjoyed adventures and exploring the outdoor environment. Students at Hemingway STEAM School were able to visit the
Wood River Community YMCA for one week to learn about plant adaptations at
Bonni's Garden. Students in Bellevue participated in a service learning project at the Howard Preserve with the
Wood River Land Trust.
We are looking forward to our winter session of
Science After School at Alturas Elementary beginning on
January 15.
