Next Maker Space: February 7th (Designing with Popsicle Sticks!)
We need your help!
Big shout out to Jaclyn Lewis for creating our last event for the students – Cave drawings.
It was a great event and we love to see more parents helping to direct the activities for the students during our indoor recess. Please reach out if you’re interested in helping us inspire our students during recess!   Click here to Volunteer.


Do you have skills in athletics, creative arts, STEM, or another area of interest? We’d love for you to share your passion with our students through a Maker Space Recess activity! Click here submit your interest.
