Below a message for parent STEM support needed from SPS Digital Learning Specialist:
We are thrilled to announce that Arbor Heights is gearing up for its inaugural season in the FIRST LEGO League Challenge, and we need your help to make it a success!
We are looking for a handy parent who can assist our dedicated coaches Erin Spiegel and Adam Van Straten by building and painting a table for the team. Corey Martin, the district lead for this initiative, will provide the necessary lumber screws and paint; we just need someone with the skills, tools, and enthusiasm to bring this project to life.
This is a wonderful opportunity to support our students and contribute to their learning and creativity. If you or someone you know is interested in helping out, please let us know. Your support will make a significant difference in our program and help inspire the next generation of innovators.
Thank you for your consideration and support!
Cheers,
Corey Allan Martin camartin@seattleschools.org
