OHS Holds STEM Celebration

 
By OHS Torch Reporters Ashley McCain and Julia Griffith

 Over 365 first, third and fifth graders from Olympia district elementary schools came to OHS for an annual STEM day celebration on Tuesday, April 7th and Thursday, April 9th.

 OHS teacher Jarrod Rackauskas said his favorite part of the STEM Celebration is, "seeing the enjoyment in the little kids’ faces."

 First graders and third graders gathered in various science rooms around the high school learning about science and technology. The elementary students enjoyed a magic show at the very beginning of the STEM Celebration put on by the AP Chemistry students. Environmental Science and AP Biology students taught about plants and the water cycle. All first grade students were building a penguin exhibit.

 OHS Freshman Taylor Yeazle helped with the penguin exhibit, "My favorite part is helping the children and seeing how much fun they have doing this project!"

 There are 171 high school students were involved in this year’s science celebration along with all the OHS Science teachers!

 This year’s celebration was an overall success. The high school students, teachers and elementary students had a lot of fun being a part of this experience.
