When she was a principal, she received a grant for STEM and was able to send four teachers into space. When she began at the Boys & Girls Club she wanted the club to be about education as well as recreation. Jan brought some of her teachers to train the people working at the clubs, and after that many companies came and talked about careers and companies and what is available. Jan got STEM involved and eventually started a KIDS STEM DAY. This year it will be held on Friday, July 11, 1:00-2:30 at the Santa Paula Club. Boys and girls from Fillmore and Piru will be bused there for the event. There will be many areas for the kids to explore science, VC Sheriffs posing will bring horses, FFA will bring small animals and talk to the kids about them, and companies will be there also. The kids love it and don’t know their learning. If you would like to know more or donate call 805-525-7910 or go to JMARHOLIN@BGCLUBSCV.ORG. |
