Offered by Lourdes University
Event part of Middle Level Childhood Education Month
celebration
On
Monday, March 21, The Lourdes University Department of
Education, the Appold Planetarium, and the Collegiate Middle
Level Association student organization are offering a
STEM Day for 75 Beverly Elementary School 5th
graders. Students will learn and enjoy from a variety of
hands-on activities and presentations. The event runs from
10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
“As
March is national Middle Level Childhood Education month,
the Lourdes Department of Education and the Appold

such an important role in students’ lives as well as the
greater community,” says Dr. Christine Knaggs, Dean of the
