CSE/Math and Science Night CSE students and parents had a fantastic time at Math and Science Night! The evening was filled with hands-on math games, exciting science experiments, and fun for the whole family. Students who completed all the activities earned a special gold coin to redeem a free book from our book vending machine. Parents had a chance to win door prizes, and students also took home fun prizes. One of the highlights was the "popcorn bar," where students created their own custom snack mixes. It was a wonderful night of learning, laughter, and connection for students, parents, and staff alike! View photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/wybnBAajiXYxFVS29 #webleedpurpleandgold
