STEM Family Night

We are excited to announce the first annual STEM Family Night at Kennett Consolidated School District. We have created this fun filled evening to encourage dynamic interactions among family members and increase awareness regarding the STEM opportunities at Kennett.

The activities focus on applications of STEM principles that encourage families to build, create, and learn together.
Members of our staff and our students have volunteered to host a variety of stations. These stations include engineering challenges, liquid Nitrogen ice cream preparation, chemistry demonstrations, Blue Demon Robotics, dragster races, 3-D printing, math games, puzzles, and computer apps. The stations are designed so children ages kindergarten through 8th grade can explore the underlying principles of science and engineering.

The event will be hosted at Kennett Middle School on June 7th starting at 6:30 PM. The STEM Family Night is just one of a number of STEM opportunities we offer our Kennett children. We hope that you will consider joining us and share this experience with your children.

Please contact Dr. Lydia Hallman if you have questions or comments regarding the evening.

Friday Night Live

Friday Night Live has become a tradition for New Garden Elementary School’s fifth grade students. It starts off in the afternoon where students read books of their choice and then run laps around the field. Once school is officially over at 3:40pm, students are divided into teams and fun activities are completed for the rest of the evening. Some of the activities included Hula Hoop Tic Tac Toe, Dodge Ball, Hershey Park Trivia, karate, and so much more. There was a Zumba class taught by third grade teacher Mrs. Gina Brodie, and even a dance party! The night ended when the water ice truck appeared and each student got their choice of a 9oz cup of delicious water ice.
