STEM + Art = STEAM!
Bonnie McBeth Learning Center preschoolers enjoyed a night where art meets science at the annual STEAM Night on January 23.
Over 50 Bonnie McBeth Learning Center students and their families attended the annual event that featured a variety of STEAM activities (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) in the classrooms.
In the science rooms, children participated in a "Sink or Float" experiment, a baking soda and vinegar reaction activity, and a magnet exploration center.
In the engineering rooms, students had the opportunity to build with large blocks and magnet tiles, as well as create structures using multi-colored cups and craft sticks.
The art rooms offered a range of projects for students to create with their families, including a "Make Your Own Snowman" kit and a foam frame project.
In the math room, children counted winter animals and participated in winter-themed measuring activities using a snowball ruler.
All afterschool activities and sports are canceled tonight due to the frigid temperatures. Please plan on in-person school tomorrow unless otherwise notified.

Flags were already at half-staff to honor Illinois State Police Trooper Clay Carns, who died in the line of duty on December 23. Flags are lowered for 30 days from the death of a President or former President.
Flags at all District 202 buildings will fly at half-staff today for National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
