National Fire Prevention Month is celebrated every October to raise awareness about the importance of fire safety. The month-long event promotes life-saving practices and home fire safety education.

Officer Barry presented to STEM about his time in law enforcement. NMS STEM students are currently learning about crime scene investigation techniques. Students will end the unit with a mystery lab where they will have to interview some of their teachers, collect and analyze evidence and make informed decisions to solve the crime!
Stem is learning about evidence collection and fingerprinting techniques.
They put their knowledge into action and lifted prints just like an investigator would.
