PTO Science Night supported by local STEM professionals
The Bluffton Elementary PTO is hosting a Science Night event with hands-on STEM activities for families of K-5th grade students from 6-8:00 p.m. on Friday, April 1 at the Bluffton elementary and middle schools, 102 S. Jackson St.
The parent-teacher organization held the first such event in February 2020, with participation by some 300 students and their families.
The 2022 science, technology, engineering and math activities will be provided by several businesses and non-profit organizations, area universities, Bluffton Schools staff members and high school students, as well as the PTO. Students will receive passports to help them track how many activities they complete with the opportunity to earn a prize.
