Back To School!
Students are heading back to school, and we are gearing up for what is sure to be a great 2022-2023 school year! As we plan for the year we are excited for the opportunity to bring back some favorite events, as well as introduce some new ones. Last Spring we started a new event called “STEAM Series.” This after school event gave students the chance to engage in hands-on STEAM experiences from programming BeeBots, to building with dried pasta and Styrofoam, to designing and launching a bottle rocket. This was a lot of fun, and we are excited to continue this series with new, innovative experiences for the children. Dates will be announced as they are finalized.
This November we’ll have our 3rd Annual Thanks “Fore” Giving Golf Tournament. A fan-favorite, this event draws participants from all over southern California and beyond. We have a lot of fun at this event, and this year will be no exception. It’s special to see the community come together to support EFAH and the work we do. Look for a date confirmation and sign-up link for this event soon. Sponsorship opportunities will also be available.
Picking up from last school year, previous funds were used to purchase brand new audio/visual equipment for the MPR. This has been an in-depth, lengthy process, but we are proud of what the finished product will be and know it will be worth the wait. Installation should be complete soon.
We are also excited for the on-campus STEAM Labs to be utilized more this year. The STEAM Labs allow children to engage in STEAM activities on a regular basis, fostering innovative thinking, and creativity.
As always, we are grateful for the opportunity to serve the Redhawk community!
