Lopez Elementary Students
Students at Lopez are subjected to a rigorous curriculum, ample opportunities for leadership, and a variety of extra-curricular activities.
5th Grade Students & Parents: Excitement about the STEM Institute is growing!
A note from STEM Organizers: We are excited to be able to offer classes June 4–8 at Preston and Webber and June 11–15 at Preston and Lesher. For our middle school programs we will be able to offer transportation between the schools if your student would like to take classes at different schools. We will transport them during the lunch hour, but the student will still have plenty of time to eat also.
Oceanography Camps are offered both weeks at Preston. This is an all day, week-long class that will “dive” deep into the field of Oceanography. The students will work on college level simulation labs, dissections, and also spend the night at the Denver Aquarium. We are proud to have Amy Guerin from Louisiana teaching this class.
We are still taking application for the Oceanography trip to California and the Science of Entertainment trip to California. I have attached the poster for the two trips if you would like more information, but please note that we have extended the “Deposit Due Date”. These are amazing experiential learning opportunities that will be chaperoned by PSD teachers. Amy Schmer will be chaperoning the Oceanography trip again!
If Science Olympiad is your thing, we will be hosting a Science Olympiad camp up at Pingree Park the week of June 25-29. This is a residential camp that will go deeper into Science Olympiad activities. You can work on your skills for next year’s competitions or you can come as a first time participant. We already have applicants from CA for this camp! You can find more information about this and register on the STEM Institutes web site.
We will also have the STEM Institute at Pingree Park. This will be our Mountain Ecology Camp at Pingree. This is a sleep away camp the week of June 11-15. The students will be studying animal behavior, forestry, astronomy and much more. This is not just another ECO Week! The courses at Pingree are taught at the high school and college level!
