 Happy Friday South!

 
Next week's STEAM Expo is going to be our biggest yet—with over 150 students showcasing 75+ amazing projects! But to make this event truly spectacular, we need a few more parent volunteers to jump in and help make the day a success.
 
We know it’s been a particularly busy time at South these past few weeks, but if you can spare even a little time on the morning of March 6th, we’d love to have you! Just let us know in the comments when you're available. Please sign up by tomorrow, March 1st, EOD at the latest—let’s make this an unforgettable experience for our students!
 
A big thank you,
 
STEAM Expo Co-Chairs

We have received a record number of STEAM projects this year! A huge thank you to our students (and parents) for their enthusiasm and creativity—we can't wait to see all the amazing work!

Now, we need volunteers to help make the STEAM Expo a success.

Our students have put in tremendous effort, and a key part of the Expo is giving them the opportunity to present their projects and receive valuable feedback. This is only possible with the support of adult volunteers serving as evaluators [no science background needed].

Can you spare a few hours on the morning of Thursday, March 6th to engage with our young South School scientists about their research and inventions? It's a fantastic way to get an early look at their innovative ideas!

📅 Time: 8:30 AM – 11:45 AM (any availability is appreciated! - please indicate your time available in the notes if not for the full event)
☕ Perks: Coffee, breakfast, and plenty of inspiration from our students!

Thank you for supporting our future innovators—we couldn’t do it without you!
