Fun learning opportunities don’t stop at the end of the school day for students at Lincoln Elementary in Washington this spring. Washington County 4-H, in coordination with Washington Schools and sponsorships from Bazooka Farmstar and Premier 1 Supplies, are offering a pair of after-school Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Clubs for kids in third through fifth grade.
Students will meet in the Lincoln Library on club days from 3:30-5 p.m. to explore hands-on science investigations. Each club will tackle a different topic with the first from April 7th-9th titled “Exploring Constellations and Stars” and the second from April 28th to May 1st titled “Investigating Bones and Muscles.” Cost per camper is $10. Students can sign up for one or both camps with registrations accepted on a first come, first serve basis. Current teacher Madison Sheetz and retired science teacher Mark Berhow will serve as camp instructors, representing Washington County Extension and Outreach.
