Principal's Message
Dear IC STEM Families,
A big thank you to the Knights of Columbus for partnering with us to host an incredible night of Oktoberfest! Thank you to all of the families that supported this wonderful event!
Our Halloween Social will be Friday, October 27 from 5 to 8pm. Our trunk-or-treat is filling up quickly and we only have a few spots left so if you're interested in participating,
please let Mrs. Rojas know. You will receive 5 service hours and need to provide your own candy. The yard will open up at 4:00pm so you may decorate and set up your car. Prizes will be awarded for the top 3 cars.
We will also have a costume contest - prizes will be awarded in different categories. Please keep costumes appropriate for school. No gore, weapons, or inappropriate themes. Make sure to place your dinner order by October 20th - taco plates and a drink for $12.
If you are interested in earning service hours, we are accepting donations of individually wrapped candy, juice boxes, or small prizes for the game booths. Please reach out with any questions.
Thank you!

Family STEM Activity
To make our DIY smart phone projector, you need:
- a small cardboard box (ours was 8 inches wide x 6 inches high x 12 inches long)
- a magnifying glass or camera lens
- scissors, exacto knife, or small serrated knife
- tape
- a smart phone
First, place the magnifying glass on the front of the box and trace it.
Then use the scissors and a serrated paring knife to cut a hole in the box that is slightly smaller than the traced circle.
Next, use a spare piece of cardboard and fold it to make a stand for the phone. Secure it with a piece of tape.
Slide the phone stand into the box, under the a cardboard flap in the bottom of the box.
Tape the magnifying glass inside the box so that the lens is aligned with the hole in the box.
Finally, add the smart phone on the stand.
Enjoy your creation!
