Why STEAM?
STEAM pulls together science, technology, engineering, arts and math as way to look at the world.
Creativity, problem-solving and innovation burst forth from this five-way intersection – new ideas taking off like a rocket toward the heavens.

The Garrison Mill Education Foundation focuses on bringing real-world STEAM opportunities to our students. And you can help!
The Foundation fuels STEAM – from STEM Lab experiments with Ms. Whittle to Publix Math Night, from new instruments in the music room with Ms. Crotty to Fine Arts Night with Ms. Lopez.
STEAM represents building blocks for the future, so the Foundation wants our students to experience as much as they can now. STEAM doesn’t tell students WHAT to think. It encourages them HOW to think.
Powered by STEAM:
- Children see the world in multiple ways, inspiring innovative problem-solving
- Students pursue curiosity
- Children develop resilience as they try new things - some successful, some not
- Building, sorting and creating help develop fine motor skills
- Growing Greyhounds express themselves in imaginative ways
When young learners participate in hands-on STEAM experiences, they learn to adapt, create and lead in a technology-driven world. They think more critically and develop a lifelong love for learning.
The Foundation makes a difference in the lives of Greyhounds as the fuel for STEAM.
Join us. Be the rocket fuel for STEAM.
