Waterloo Board of Education · November 15, 2024

Summary

Elementary students presented projects from a new K–6 STEAM special and praised teacher Miss Hayes for hands-on learning. The elementary principal said the fall fundraiser raised about $8,000 for principal-account activities and announced upcoming events including holiday concerts and a visiting author.

Elementary principal Julie introduced students who spoke about the new STEAM special for kindergarten through sixth grade and invited them to share their projects. A student said simply, "STEAM is a great special," and described creating a vending-machine project; other students described sewing and carpentry projects and how the class encouraged creativity.

Julie told the board the fall fundraiser raised a little over $8,000 for the principal's account, which funds student recognition, PBIS programs, field day, grandparents' breakfast and field trips. She previewed upcoming events — Hanging of the Greens (planned early December), holiday band concerts on Dec. 6 and Dec. 10, and a visiting author, Jeff Miller, scheduled to work with fifth- and sixth-grade students.
