Northern Adirondack Elementary School

At the end of the school year, NAC Elementary students were offered squash plants to take home. One NAC family made it a summer project, observing and discussing how bees pollinate the flowers, and when they were full-grown, tasting the scallop squash. The student (pictured) was so intrigued with watching his squash grow! We love how involved our Bobcat families are with experiential learning -- both inside the classroom and at home! If you have photos or stories of your family's squash-growing projects this summer, we'd love to have them!

Thanks to a generous donation from Casella Organics, NAC Elementary was able to add a Flashforge 3D Printer to our STEM program this year. Using student Chromebooks and 3D design software, the fifth graders created and printed keyrings. It was an exciting learning opportunity for students to learn about and use this rapidly advancing technology.
