Students in the Elementary STEAM Education program got creative during a trip to Augusta Candle Company! 🕯️

As part of their STEAM exploration, students designed and created their own candles while enjoying time together.

The experience provided a fun opportunity to connect, collaborate and express creativity outside the classroom. A great day of learning, creativity and community!
