The Passport Scholars had a wonderful opportunity last Friday to visit the STEM program in Cabarrus County Schools. They visited classes at Patriots STEM Elementary, JN Fries Magnet Middle School and Central Cabarrus High School. Each school shared the innovative ways they are engaging students in the STEM disciplines and officials at the County Office were gracious enough to provide lunch and answer the scholars' questions about STEM and Cabarrus County Schools. It was a visit well worth the trip!
