IB Diploma Students Information from Mr. Savage:

For anyone who needs a few more service hours,  Templeton Elementary is looking for several volunteers for their STEM Night, Thursday May 28th, 5:30 - 8:30 pm (yes it is on the CAS due date, but you could turn in your reflection on the 29th and it would be okay).  

You would be helping set up and staff booths and activities with a science theme (marshmallow towers, penny boats, paper airplanes, marble roller coasters, circuits, etc.) It sounds like it will be a lot of fun.

If you need creativity hours I could put you in touch with the woman in charge and she would probably let you design your own booth or activity.
