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 3rd- 5th grade scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians love to read. However, our special education classroom library does not have enough books to inspire and challenge all of our enthusiastic readers. These new books will enrich our classroom libraries and support our incredible students in reaching their big goals!

Your help will ensure that our students reach their fullest potential as growing readers, while reading high-interest, engaging, relevant books.

We are convinced that when given the opportunity and necessary resources, each of our amazing kids can and will be extremely successful! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
