FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents,
On the Agritopia campus we have an annual school/at-home STEM challenge called MADE (Make, Apply, Demonstrate, Explore). We hold this event twice a year to give our PK-5th grade students an opportunity to explore the world of STEM in a fun and hands-on way! On March 27th, we’ll be hosting our second annual boat-building challenge where students will design and construct their miniature vessels at home and test at school during our competition.
This event isn’t just about building boats; it’s about fostering creativity and problem-solving skills. It’s a chance for our students to truly thrive by using their God-given gifts and talents to bring their ideas to life. Imagine the sense of accomplishment as they see their designs float (or maybe even sink in a spectacular, learning-experience kind of way!).
We encourage all our elementary students to participate in this exciting adventure. If you would like to sign your child up for this challenge, you may do so on our MADE website to ensure we have enough materials and can organize the event effectively. The link to the challenge provides more information about the date, time, and materials needed. We believe that every child has the potential to be an innovator, and this event is a perfect opportunity to spark their curiosity and ignite a passion for STEM. We can’t wait to see what incredible creations students come up with!
Let the race begin,

We are happy to have partnered with our GCS High School, as they will help run our Fit & Fun Day stations as well as ref our Kickball Tournament.
We are excited to continue helping your child to be healthy and active and “Fit to Serve” our God and King!
