This year we will be holding in-school Steam Team Days. For this to work, we will need a stocked supply of household and recyclable items. We are only asking for items you may have already lying around the house. No need to go purchase these items. We are not looking for a massive supply (taking up a lot of space) as we have limited square footage. If you could please start collecting these items we would appreciate it. Our first Steam Team Day is the second day of school. This is why we are informing you now to please find a box and start adding materials as you come across them. Boxes are a great way to send in items as we can then use the cardboard for the projects or store by stacking for later. If you are sending any of the listed items that previously stored food or liquid, please make sure they are cleaned and dry before bringing them in.
