Dear Parents,

Our school-wide STEAM initiative features projects that integrate the "A" for arts into STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curricula throughout the school year and summer.

Berkeley Carroll's first-ever STEAM Fair promises to be a fun day of learning with 18 activities for all ages on Sat. Feb. 21 from 10am-2pm at 181 Lincoln Place!  (Lunch will be provided.)
