A special thing about Garrison Mill is that students always yearn for FEAST – Foundation Enrichment After School Time.

Check out our week-at-a-glance FEAST calendar , see a list of club descriptions or just register.

We have a FEAST Club to fill hungry imaginations of all kinds. Especially when it comes to science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics, the Garrison Mill Education Foundation (GMEF) is the power behind STEAM at our school.

Choose from teacher-led clubs to experiences run by community resources versed in great youth programming.

Don't wait long. Some clubs already are sold out.

Registration ends Monday, Aug. 11 for teacher clubs. External clubs registration may vary.

Fees for FEAST vary by club. A percentage of every club fee funds the GMEF. Not only is the Foundation the organizer of FEAST, it also funds STEAM initiatives like the Garrison Mill STEM Lab, science teacher salaries, programmable robots, the school Learning Garden and more.

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!
