News & Updates

Oh Boy, It's October! Load the Lounge!

We would love to load the (teacher's) lounge with snacks and soft drinks to kick off our 2nd month of school! If you are able/willing to donate items, you can drop them in the front lobby. (Diet Coke and Celsius drinks are teacher favorites!)

Lost and Found

Please remind your student to retrieve any of these missing & unlabeled items! As a reminder, please label all items so if your student loses something we can return it. Items left more than a week are donated or disposed of.

STEM Family Volunteers & Social Coordinators

10/13 - Waukesha Unlocked - Parent/Student Volunteers Needed

On the weekend of October 12th & 13th, the City of Waukesha is holding "Waukesha Unlocked." This citywide event provides community members & families the unique opportunity of visiting various buildings throughout Waukesha. On Sunday October 13th, STEM Elementary will be opening its doors to the community to check out what STEM has to offer.

The event is all planned out, but some volunteers are needed to monitor activity stations (Legos, Bluebots, Marble Maze, etc...). Check out the link below to sign up. If you are a guardian of a 4th or 5th grader, consider signing up together as no one can explain how awesome STEM is better than one of our students.

Winter Glow is Almost Here!

With less than two weeks until Winter Glow, Community Action Coalition (CAC) is gearing up for an impactful event season. Winter Glow is an annual program designed to support low-income families with school-aged children during the colder months. Our goal is to ensure that everyone in our community has access to essential resources to stay warm, healthy, and supported throughout the winter.
