Support Our New STEM Center!

Now that the STEM Center is filled with children and learning is happening, we would like to continue making sure that our students have quality hands-on learning kits and materials.   I would like to connect to the field of Science and purchase a collection of engaging microscopes that will capture the attention of our young scientists!
