Our new parking lot isn't just a construction zone—it’s a giant, real-world STEM project happening right outside our school windows!

Did you know that Civil engineers use science to plan drainage systems so rain doesn't flood the pavement? They rely on technology like GPS tools to map out straight parking spots, engineering to build strong roads that can hold heavy vehicles, and math to measure angles, slopes, and materials.

It's hard to believe, but the first day of school will be here before we know it! We hope you're enjoying every last bit of summer, but if you're starting to think about the new school year, we've got you covered.

🚨 ATTENTION FASHION ICONS 🚨

We just hosted our first-ever Lost & Found Fashion Show, and it’s scientifically proven: we look good in your forgotten clothes.

If you see your missing jacket, shirt, sweatshirt or other fashion accessory rocking the runway, you have until Friday to claim it from the main office before it's gone forever! 👀

We had the coolest time hosting an ice cream social to say a massive THANK YOU to our wonderful volunteers!

You give your time, talent, and energy to support our mission all year long, so treating you to a few scoops was the least we could do. We appreciate you more than words (and sprinkles) can say!

Today was full of high-fives and bittersweet smiles as graduating seniors returned to R-STEM to catch up with their old teachers and share some great advice with our students! They got a well-deserved "Clap Out"—one of our most cherished traditions.

To top it all off, they headed out to the playground for some recess fun with our Kindergarteners. Turns out, the graduation gowns make the slides EXTRA fast - who knew!?

Wishing the absolute best to the Class of 2026! Thanks for coming back to inspire the next generation.

Our R-STEM students enjoyed some fresh air and great reads outside today. There's nothing better than a beautiful day and a good book to get those gears turning!
