Expanding Your Horizons


Mrs. Lewis and Ms. de Lemos will take a group of girls to TCOE's  Expanding Your Horizons.   This optional 11/4 event is for girls in 4th-10th grade in order to inspire them to consider education and careers in STEM fields.  All classes heard about the event in class, and interested girls should be bringing required forms home today. Forms are due back to Mrs. Lewis or Ms. Delemos by Friday, September 29.
