We’d like to extend a huge thank you to the LEGO Store at Brandon Exchange Mall for visiting FishHawk Creek and hosting such an amazing 2nd Grade LEGO STEM Day!
Our students had an absolute blast—engaging, creating, and learning through hands-on building experiences. Your team made the day both fun and educational, sparking curiosity and creativity in every child.
We truly appreciate the time, effort, and partnership in bringing this opportunity to our students. It means so much to connect our school with local businesses that inspire and support learning in such a meaningful way.
Thank you again for an unforgettable experience!
