STEAMing Into the New School Year!

Garrison Mill Education Foundation was proud to support the Welcome Back to School Staff Luncheon with a special STEAM Raffle Giveaway! Each raffle basket was thoughtfully curated to represent one of the five STEAM pillars: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.

Our goal was to show appreciation for our amazing educators while also celebrating the foundation’s commitment to fostering curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking through STEAM initiatives.

Each themed basket included fun, engaging items tied to:

S – The Science of Baking & Cooking
T – Technology Lover
E – Engineering Structure
A – The Art of Self-Care
M – The Math is Math-ing

Thank you to our volunteers for making this STEAM raffle a fun and meaningful experience. We’re excited to refocus our efforts and funding toward expanding STEAM programing across the school. We are committed to helping bring even more opportunities for hand-on, creative learning into our kids classrooms for all the STEAM-powered learning ahead in 2025!

Congratulations to Mrs. Diegnan, Mrs. Latimer, Mrs. McReynolds, Ms. Whittle, & Mrs. Cady!
