Friday, our amazing students from Stanton College Preparatory School teamed up with our 2nd graders for a hands-on STEM experience building bridges!
This collaboration wasn’t just about construction—it was about problem-solving, teamwork, and real-world application of science and engineering concepts. Our young learners explored how and why bridges work, while our high school mentors modeled leadership, creativity, and perseverance.
We love seeing our students inspired by future scholars and leaders right here in our community! 💙
