NCSS SCHOOLS QUARTERLY REPORT FALL 2015 SCIENCE around the Building! Flint Hill’s Title I and FLP Parent Night was a HUGE Success!! Everywhere you look at FHES you can see evidence of science and technology. From growing grass caterpillars with our youngest students to learning about weather and erosion in our STEM lab. What is S.T.E.M? It stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math! Students will use tools and instruments for observing, measuring, and manipulating objects in scientific activities utilizing safe laboratory procedures. Our students are getting hands on experience with Science! The parents at FHES were able to come to FHES to discuss how to get involved in their child’s education. We discussed ways to help with their student’s homework, how to volunteer in the school, and how to get involved in their student’s education. We were so excited to see so many parents in attendance. STEM Lab Earns Grant Money! Thanks to the DART Foundation Grant, FHES received $2000 for the S.T.E.M. Lab! We are very thankful! The students have loved visiting the S.T.E.M. lab and doing science experiments each week!!!!!!!!! FLINT HILL ELEMENTARY FARM DAY WAS INCREDIBLE! The Farm Bureau in conjunction with the High School FFA clubs treated our students to Farm Day! The students were able to see cows, goats, pigs and chickens. They also were able to see how bees make honey, how much farm land is used to grow all of our food and they got to meet Ranger Rick. High School students chauffeured the students from station to station as they learned about farms. The Farm Bureau also donated a book to every homeroom teacher. It was a great experience for our students! They learned so much and they loved every minute.
