STREAM Expo Showcases
Innovative Learning Experiences
AMERICAN LEGION AWARDEES
E
lementary
and Middle
School students
participated in FR’s first
STREAM Expo in May
as part of the 2018 Pittsburgh Area Remake Learning Days.
Students were excited to showcase their innovative learning
experiences that incorporated Science, Technology, Research,
Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.
The STREAM Forward initiative was piloted at Newlonsburg
this school year with plans to use the experience as a
springboard to increase STREAM education across all three
elementary schools.
The program was made possible through an $11,000 grant
that was awarded by the FR Panther Foundation. Teachers
worked in collaboration with Newlonsburg Principal, Ms.Tina
Gillen, to create project based courses that incorporated the
elements of STREAM.
The showcase was hosted by Sloan Elementary and
consisted of various hands-on stations which were designed
for students in Grades 3-6. Following the STREAM framework,
activities introduced the concepts of engineering, design,
problem solving and critical thinking. Student musicians
showcased their artistic talents as they entertained the crowd
of over 200 visitors.
T
he local American Legion posts honored six
Franklin Regional students who demonstrated
the characteristics of courage, honor, leadership,
patriotism, scholarship, and service. Nicholas Provenzo,
Nina Pint, Jordan Satterfield, Danielle Price, Casey
Huczko, and Thomas Nicely (not pictured) were
nominated by their teachers and then voted on by
their classmates for the awards. Murrysville, Export, and
Delmont American Legion posts sponsored the awards.
