Children dug for dinosaur bones, created clay "fossils", and made their own flowered or dinosaur-horned tea party hats. 🦖 Tina the T-Rex made so many new friends!

Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar? The members of Thursday's STEAM Club were hot on the case as they learned all about forensics. From analyzing fabric samples, to dusting for fingerprints, to measuring and comparing shoe prints, these kids were not going to let the cookie thief go free. They worked hard and cracked the case. [NOTE: The culprit's identity will remain a STEAM Club secret.] 🕵️‍♂️

If you have any questions about the status of programs during inclement weather please feel free to call us. We are always happy to help. Enjoy the spring weather this weekend.
