Fun Run is This Friday!

Last week students worked in collaborative groups to build casts to heal a fractured bone.

Fun Run is this Friday!
Don’t forget!  The A2STEAM PTO is hosting the annual Fun Run fundraiser this Friday, May 20th. Our class has already raised $300 in one week alone!  Thank you for helping our school any way you can.

As I wrote last week, you can learn more about the Fun Run by watching this online slideshow, and this video.  The money we raise helps us pay for the costs of field trips, expos, and more.  After you watch those videos you can use this link if you want to donate online.

If you want to donate by cash or check, use the form that went last week or print another copy.  Thank you so much for your consideration, every donation really helps our school.
