Thomas Prince School Introduces STEAM Council
Thursday, December 24, 2015
The council was formed to support the integrated STEAM education at the school by leveraging community and family resources, the STEAM Council is comprised of a diverse group of teachers and parents from Princeton and surrounding towns.
“The STEAM Council taps the talent and exploits the enthusiasm in the greater TPS community to help enrich our student experience. With time, we expect to add STEAM partner representatives to the Council to complement the teacher and parent ranks," said TPS principal Shannon Sutton.
The council is expected to build upon certain traditions and institutions established last year. Namely, the well attended STEAM Expo will return in 2016 in combination with the TPS Arts Festival.
The council will also oversee the introduction of new STEAM events and activities this school year.
STEAM Council Chair Tammy Boyle said, “Our STEAM Council members’ shared passion for STEAM along with strong TPS and District administrative support is a powerful combination. We would encourage more people to step up and join the Council. Our committees could each use some additional help so please contact me directly with any level of interest.”
