Equity and Excellence Learning Center expo highlights Southside STEM Academy
Summary
Southside STEM Academy hosted the Equity and Excellence Learning Center Expo, introducing the school as the newest EELC and showcasing partner resources and programs.
Southside STEM Academy hosted the second annual Equity and Excellence Learning Center (EELC) Expo, presenting the academy as the fifth and newest member of the EELC family and offering breakout sessions and partner resources.
Organizers gave an overview of what EELCs offer and then conducted smaller sessions so families could learn specifics from each school. Numerous vendors and partners attended to highlight supports for EELC students, including mentoring programs and nutrition resources.
An attendee praised the variety of offerings, saying, “The EELC has provided a lot for the children tonight. It has been a wonderful event. I definitely like how they have the girl scout in, the mentors, a lot of things that they're doing, the books they're giving out, the nutritionist stuff they're giving out for the kids.”
Another attendee noted the event’s evening timing made it easier for working families to attend and to get a broader view of district programming.
The transcript presents the expo as an outreach and informational event; no formal board actions or policy decisions are recorded in the excerpt.
