Congratulations to the winner of the Ohio PTA Science
Festival Grant- Falls Lenox/Early Childhood Center PTA in District 12! Falls
Lenox/ECC PTA will be hosting students and families for an evening of science
learning. Students and adult family members will be participating in the four
STEM stations together. Each station will have a different focus- science,
technology, engineering and math. Families will be able to experience 4-6
unique activities at each station.
Falls Lenox/ECC will be extending STEM learning beyond the
event by sending families monthly bulletins on new STEM activities that can be
done at home. Conducting STEM activities at home fosters student interest in
STEM and builds parents’ confidence in their ability to assist and guide their
children in learning more about STEM and STEM careers. Falls Lenox/ECC PTA also
plans to recruit community members to staff the learning stations in addition
to using PTA volunteers. Involving the community demonstrates the value of PTA
and can lead to long-term partnerships with businesses and other nonprofit
organizations.
