>>>>>STEM In the Spotlight! Go Hi-Fives!

This past Wednesday, one of the Hi-Fives Seniors “Andrea Chamorro”, Diploma Candidate to the International Baccalaureate Program (IB) at Palisade High School, was recognized for having the best “Creative, Action & Service Idea” project of the class of 2017. This award is well deserved to this young lady who not only started Three Jr. FLL teams at Pomona Elementary School, but also organized and dedicated countless hours for the success of the first Jr. FLL Expo in at Redlands Middle School last December. We are going to miss your positive and cheery personality, Andrea. We wish you the best as you start your next life chapter...college!
