Donuts With Dad
On Oct. 14, NDES students in prekindergarten through eighth-grade spent the morning with their dads enjoying donuts, socializing and playing special Halloween games.
Kindergartners Create Robots
NDES kindergartners designed and built robots using 2-D and 3-D shapes as part of their math class. Describing and identifying the shapes they used, the children then shared their unique creations with their classmates.
NDES Receives $10,000 from GE Lighting
Notre Dame Elementary School is pleased to announce an award of $10,000 to its STEM Program from GE Lighting. The Edison Pioneer Award was facilitated by Tom Stimac, father of kindergartner Michaela.
The Edison and Edison Pioneer awards honor employee excellence in product innovation, customer service and organizational leadership.
“I love technology,” Tom said. “In my current role, I get to learn something new every day around so many aspects of the business and that definitely makes it interesting.”
In 2015, Notre Dame Elementary School was recognized as a STEM School through the Ohio Academy of Science by receiving the Thomas Edison Award for Excellence in STEM Education. The program includes strong core math and science programs from preschool through eighth-grade augmented by collaborative and experiential learning, tiered instruction, engagement with manipulatives and state of the art technology.
More impressive, our students are being recognized for their achievements as a result of the STEM program at NDES through Science Olympiad and math competitions, regional, local and state Science Fairs and Destination Imagination Program. This past summer, a student from NDES received the top award for her design in the Shearer Potato Chip Perfection Student Contest. The high level of student involvement in these activities demonstrates NDES student excitement and engagement in STEM education.
