☀️🌧️ What better way to kick off a STEAM project than with a real-life weather expert? Today, our very own local meteorologist Elijah Kirby visited our 5th graders at Cartwright Elementary and gave them a behind-the-scenes look at how weather forecasts are created. From forecasting storms to tracking patterns, our students got an inside look at science in action! Science, technology, and curiosity were in full force! 🌩️🌪️

🎙️✨ Students take STEAM to the airwaves! ✨🎙️
Recently, two outstanding students from #CartwrightElementarySchool visited local radio station #WLIJ and #HopkinsFarmsBroadcasting to share their experiences and excitement about pursuing STEAM designation at their school. They were joined on the air with Director of Communications Carol Garrette by Assistant Principal Malcom Martin, who spoke about the school’s vision and commitment to innovation, creativity and hands-on learning.
It’s inspiring to see #students using their voices and representing the incredible work happening in district classrooms! Moments like these highlight how meaningful, real-world learning opportunities empower students to lead and succeed. 🚀🧪🎨
