My Students

"Who are we? We are STEM!" This is how our students begin each morning- chanting, dancing, and enthusiastically affirming our belief that we can accomplish anything we decide to work hard towards! We know that to accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream!

As the only STEM school in Manhattan, our students are scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians who dream of someday changing the world.

The students of STEM investigate and solve real-world problems while developing social and emotional strength- this will prepare them to make a difference in the world. We believe that all kids are capable of success, no exceptions!

My Project

Our brilliant STEM students are so happy to have recess again, now that COVID-19 restrictions have changed. It's been an extremely challenging 18 months, and we're doing everything we can to support their emotional and physical health.

Playing outside is so important for their social emotional health- a huge focus for our school this year.

Because of social distancing requirements, our older students cannot play on our playground, so they need fun equipment to help them enjoy recess! Having soccer goals, a parachute and Velcro paddles for playing catch will give our kids many fun activities to engage in.

Our students are so brave, positive, and resilient in the face of all of the challenges presented by COVID-19. Your support will encourage them to keep learning and growing by making recess even more fun!
