Fernan STEM Academy Weekly Update

We have a tremendous amount of resources we'd like to store in bins while our building is repaired. Thank you!

Fernan's students and staff are resilient! They have adapted to being relocated, sharing spaces, hammering and sawing, and entering/exiting the building in a different way. We are proud to be FERNAN STRONG!
