Parent Teacher Organization
Thank you to STEM Safari for coordinating an engaging and exciting Family STEM Night. Our students enjoyed exploring a variety of stations, including playing with a hoverboard, learning about Kāhuli conservation with the Bishop Museum staff, trying their hand at fingerprinting as forensic scientists, and getting an up-close look at different human organs.
Stay tuned for more details about our next Family Night coming up next month!
