Springhouse Middle School was the site for a STEAMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Music, and Medicine) program for fifth grade students in Parkland’s Cetronia, Parkway Manor, Fogelsville, Jaindl and Veterans Memorial elementary schools.
The program filled both gyms, main and auxiliary at the school with a variety of presentations to create interest in those students.
Seventh and eighth grade Springhouse students had their displays in the main gym while commercial and public service organizations could be found in the auxiliary gym.
Each grade school student, who completed an event, received a coupon that would be entered in a drawing for a STEAMM related prize at the end of the visit.
