Hello SASM Families!
Thank you to all the students, parents and community volunteers who helped make this year's fair such a huge success. We had 140 individual projects from grades K-5, 10 classroom projects from grades K-3, 27 STEM Fair volunteers across the year, and 48 judges on the day of the Fair. If you would like to volunteer to be a part of the STEM Fair 2024, contact carihushman@gmail.com.

The San Antonito STEM Fair is on its way! This year the fair will be held on Thursday, January 26, 2023. The STEM Fair Committee would like to offer a few pointers and words of encouragement (especially for those beginning kindergarten parents!).
- Our goal is to ignite the students’ interest in science and engineering, to have them explore some concept and have fun.
- Facilitating the project is different from doing it for your child. Make sure you do not do all the work. However, do not leave your child to flounder, winding up with a negative feeling toward science.
- Help your child choose a project in which he or she truly has an interest. Make it fun! Let them wonder, let them investigate, let them find something out!
- Remember, learning can be messy! As long as your child (and your home) is safe, all you have to do is provide the time, materials. Natural curiosity will take your child to a higher level of thinking.
- For grades K-2, encourage the students to explore science in their own way. They do not need to follow the scientific method perfectly.
If you have questions, contact Cari Hushman.
All the students who participated impressed the judges with their depth knowledge, explanation of their projects, and presentation skills. Congratulations to you all!
